IPCC’s Family Story Time: Shaped By Her Hands
01:00 pm - 02:00 pm MDT
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.
Free for children and adult family member.
A small sample of the skills developed when children attend Story Time sessions:
- Increases vocabulary and overall brain development. Improves attention, concentration and listening skills.
- Increases creativity and imaginative thinking.
- Social and communication skills development and most importantly, it is fun, and children get to spend quality time with an adult who is important to them-YOU!
