Thirty
years ago, micaceous clay was solely used by Native American potters
of the Southwest. Today there is a small but growing number of potters
from different ethnic backgrounds who are taking micaceous pottery in
interesting new directions. As you will see in the pictures, the diversity
of this clay is truly incredible. It was initially used
for bean pots, water jugs, cups, and ceremonial vessels.
Because of its natural durability and high tolerance for heat, micaceous clay is used to make beautiful
and functional cookware, lamps, tiles and plaster for natural housing.
Since this clay comes from our Mother Earth, it is handled with the
utmost respect and care. The clay is hand-dug and processed at
the Owl Peak Pottery Studio in La Madera, New Mexico. |
