PAL N 256

MATERIAL/TECHNIQUE:
My clay sculptures are made from Jemez clay that I dig from my reservation I process myself. I use the coil method. I sand my pieces after they are dry to refine them. I stone polish my pieces and paint them with natural clay slips. I fire traditionally outside with cedar wood.
