Calvin Analla Jr

Materials: Traditional Laguna Clay, Traditional Hopi Clay, Rocky Mountain Bee Weed(Wild Spinach), and Hematite Rock.Methods: Collect clays, process clays grinding, then sifting the clays, and mixing the individual clays separately, then mixing both clays, not thoroughly combining the two clays, to get the wood grain/marble effect. Hand coil the pottery into different shapes and sizes, let the pottery dry, sand pottery, and stone polish pottery, then paint pottery, and then traditionally fire pottery.Firing: Pre-heat the pottery before firing, the materials I use are sheep manure, cow paddies, and cedar wood
