Tohono O’odham Pottery with Kathleen Vance

Kathy Vance is of Tohono O’odham and San Carlos Apache lineage and calls the southern Arizona desert home. Kathy has been culturally influenced by a community of people who respect and value the Himdag (O’odham lifeways). Kathy learned the basic fundamentals of the anvil and paddle method (the method used to construct the ollas found in our visitor center) from mentor Alicia Bustamante. Kathy continues to produce utilitarian pottery such as cooking vessels, water ollas, seed jars, effigy pots and whistles.
