In this intimate and personal book fourteen contemporary Zuni potters tell us in their own words about the traditions and techniques of their craft -- how they collect and handle clay, how they fire and decorate pots, and how they learn, develop, teach, and adapt their art. Some of these potters have learned in the traditional way from their mothers, but many have also taken advantage of modern mobility and education to learn at school and by visiting museum collections of pueblo pottery. Their work and their lives combine tradition and innovation. Pottery is a traditional female art among the pueblos, but five of the potters included in this book are men. One potter uses electric kiln at home but travels to workshops in the Midwest with sheep manure so that she can demonstrate traditional firing techniques. All of them are as generous in sharing their stories in this book as they are in working cooperatively to develop their craft." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Quanita Kalestewa: interview, by Milford Nahohai; Josephine Nahohai: interview, by Milford Nahohai and Elisa Phelps; Randy Nahohai and Rowena Him: interview, by Milford Nahohai and Elisa Phelps; Milford Nahohai: interview, by James Ostler; Anderson and Avelia Peynetsa: interview, by Milford Nahohai and Elisa Phelps; Agnes Peynetsa and Berdel Soseeah: interview, by Milford Nahohai and Elisa Phelps; Eileen Yatsattie: interview, by Milford Nahohai and Elisa Phelps; Gabriel Paloma: interview, by Milford Nahohai and Elisa Phelps; Marjorie Esalio: interview, by Milford Nahohai; Noreen Simplicio: interview, by Milford Nahohai and Elisa Phelps; Livia Roxie Panteah: interview, by Milford Nahohai and Elisa Phelps.
