PUEBLO INDIAN WOMEN MAKING POTTERY
•Pottery making is an art the Pueblo Indians
inherited directly from their ancestors,
the Pre-
historic Cliff Dwellers. A basket or piece of old
pottery is used as a foundation form.
The clay
is worked into strips, which are coiled spirally up-
ward to form the new pottery vessel. The clay is
smoothed down by the fingers as shown in this
illustration. After drying it is ready for deco-
rations and then firing.
