Wedding vase of mica clay, 8.25" x 5". Geometric design. Marcella Yepa was born into the Sun Clan on Jemez Pueblo in 1964. She began working with clay at the age of 19, inspired by her aunt, Alvina Yepa. She gathers her clay and other natural pigments from within Jemez Pueblo. In the traditional way, she soaks the clay, grinds it to a powder, cleans the clay, hand mixes, hand coils, shapes, carves the pottery, polishes her pottery with a stone and fires her pottery outdoors using cedar chips. She hand coils many shapes and sizes of pottery: wedding vases, ollas, and traditional shapes. Date: c.2002 Location: Jemez Pueblo, New Mexico HWAC # 52776
