Martha Rodriguez, Kumeyaay-Tipai, potter, basket weaver, artist, and educator will conduct a class on how to make pottery from raw clay. Students will go home with a small olla created at the workshop.
The lecture will include:
- Martha's describing her pottery collection, letting the class know what to expect for the day, and showing a video of her mother making pottery, basketweaving, etc.
- Grinding the raw clay and mix with water.
- Martha will demonstrate how to make an Olla.
- The class will make a medium size olla to take home!
Students will need to wear clothes that can get dirty, and bring a bandana to wear around their mouth to keep from breathing in dust. Students will also need to bring a bucket to mix the clay and then to carry home the damp olla.
