On Saturday, July 13, our storyteller will be pottery sculptor Ed Lewis (Acoma), and our book title will be Shaped By Her Hands: Potter Maria Martinez by Anna Harber Freeman and Barbara Gonzales, illustrated by Aphelandra. This book is available at the Indian Pueblo Store here.

Shaped By Her Hands tells the story of Pueblo artist Maria Martinez (San Ildefonso) and her iconic black pottery. This inspiring book teaches children about Maria’s work sharing Tewa pottery traditions in New Mexico and across the country.

After learning about Maria’s work, Ed will lead the group in creating their own pottery pieces. The pieces will be fired in a kiln and be available to pick up by the next Saturday, July 20. Due to limited kiln space, attendance will be limited to 20 children.

The Indian Pueblo Cultural Center is honored to celebrate the opening of Desert Stories: The Art of Kelly Frye & Jazmin Novak, an artist-led exhibition on view in the Artists Circle Gallery from July 19, 2024 through October 27, 2024. Collaboratively curated by Kelly Frye (Tesuque Pueblo/Mescalero Apache descent) and Jazmin Novak (Diné) of the Santa Fe, New Mexico area, Desert Stories interweaves visual narratives of the Southwest in paintings, glass, clay, and bronze artworks. In Frye’s paintings, she reorganizes geometric patterns into symphonies of color that melt into each other. In Novak’s sculpture, she uses asymmetry in her color palettes to give emphasis to certain parts of desert animals, like rabbits and coyotes. Bringing together two- and three-dimensional expressions creates an innovative take on the world of the Southwest desert as seen in the artists’ reimaginings of angular pottery designs and iconic, brush-dwelling animals. Using color as a method of disorientation, Frye and Novak make us see familiar Southwest elements in a completely different and unfamiliar light.
