You will find pottery making very fascinating. Made by hand, the potter uses the coil and pinch method without the use of a pottery wheel. The potter starts his project by first finding the clay and then grinding it to a fine powder using a stone metate. Water is then mixed with the clay powder and brought to the necessary consistency. A piece is made for the base of the pot and then clay coils are molded together to build up the sides. The instruments the Tarahumaras use to smooth the pot and scrape away roughness are nothing more than pieces of gourd, stone or wood. They then heat the pot in a shallow hole after it has had time to dry in the open air. It is then painted with various items like a feather, the fingers or a cloth-wrapped stick and natural paints like red ochre, iron oxide or hematite.

Owning Native American pottery, whether a rustic style Tarahumara pot, a beautifully painted piece by the Tigua Indian Tribe, or refined artwork like Mata Ortiz, is truly a great privilege and enables you to experience Native traditions and customs in the most authentic way.
