A table full of fired pottery. There are about a dozen pieces of different size and shape, mostly bowl forms with anthropomorphic figures attached to both sized, a common motif in Taino pottery. The unfired tan clay (from previous photo) has transformed to a brick red, with spots of black where the carbon from the smoke has entered the clay.

I'm prepping for tomorrow's workshop with UnidosNow, a local Hispanic/Latinx org that has been shaken by the recent wave of deportations and has decided that working with #clay would be a grounding, healing activity to help cope with that reality.
Before the hands-on clay part, I'll share photos of the #Taino potter I met in #PuertoRico when we visited in 2023. #AliceCheverez of Morovis carries on the ancient art of her people, passed on to her by her mother. #alttext #Indigenous #ceramics
