Pecos, NM: Join Josephine Toya of the Pueblo of Jemez on July 16^th and 17th for a demonstration of how she creates traditional Jemez Pueblo pottery. There is a great deal of variety among Jemez pottery, but Josephine Toya’s pieces reflect a long and proud tradition of pottery that dates from the 1700s. She uses subtle, natural earth tones in shades of buff, cream, black, and russet, over red- and tan-slipped pots, bowls, jars, and her specialty Corn Maidens. Join us for a rare and special look behind the making of fine Jemez pottery—from a mound of clay to a beautifully formed work of art—right before your eyes. Demonstrations will take place at the Pecos National Historical Park visitor center between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. on both days. For more information, contact Pecos NHP at [phone].
