Continuing My Celebration of
Pueblo Indian Art & Culture
with 3 Generations of Taos Potters
We went to the home of Dawning Pollen Shorty's parents, located close to the Taos Pueblo, to fire our micaceous clay creations. Her parents, Bernadette Track and Robert Shorty, along with her aunt Soge, grandmother Jeri, and some cousins were all there when we arrived. We were welcomed with hugs and the aromatic scent of pinto beans being cooked in a well-used micaceous bean pot made Pollen's mother, Bernadette. As our pots were firing, we feasted on pinto beans, homemade 'fry bread' & jam, homemade herbal tea, watermelon, freshly baked cinnamon buns and strawberry rhubarb pie. We sat in the yard surrounding the firing pit and on the porch, feasting and visiting with Pollen and her family.
By the end of the day, I felt as though I had just spent the day with long lost family.
A most beautifully spent day!

I love to play with many different materials and experiment with new techniques.
Currently, my favorite materials to work with are clay, glass, and metal.
