Tribal Collection Review RemarksAccording to the participants in the Isleta collection review visit May 2 3, 2022 (Events Record “Collection Review: Isleta Collection Review 2"): This seed jar was hand formed using the coil method. The design on this seed jar is a cloud and rain design. The exterior white slip is stone polished and done well. Stella began firing her pieces using scrap lumber and cow dung. She now only uses lumber to fire her pieces.
