                     Creating and Forming

                                          A number of different methods are utilized depending on the end form envisioned.

                                          Coiling is a primary building process pasted down through the centuries seen in many

                                          corrugated prehistoric pieces of the southwest.

                     Working and Finishing Clay

                                      Preparation is important for the workability of the clays and durability of

                                      finished piece. Hand burnishing with polished stone takes hours to complete

                                      creating fine surfaces and textures.
