I’ve been experimenting with shapes and also seeing how thin I can get the clay I processed from Caddo Mounds. I’ve been able to get the cabs 2mm thin, making the earrings a little less heavy! ✨

We finished the traditional Caddo pottery classes this week by firing our pots!

Over the last 13 months, we learned to hand dig clay, process it, shape it, and fire it. All in the same place our ancestors did before colonization.

Acorns and oak leaves represent the cycle of life in Caddo culture. I made these in honor of my 8-year-old son whose favorite color is red (hahtinu in Caddo). ♥️
