Shaped By Her Hands: Potter Maria Martinez

The most renowned Native American Indian potter of her time, Maria Povika Martinez learned pottery as a child under the guiding hands of her ko-ōo, her aunt. She grew up to discover a new firing technique that turned her pots black and shiny, and made them—and Maria—famous. This book tells the story of how Maria, through her love of clay, brought success and joy from her New Mexico Pueblo to people all across the country.
