| A Cochiti Pueblo Storyteller With Micaceous Sparkle |
Micaceous clay has been used by the indigenous people of North America for centuries to make durable cooking pots and for food, water, and seed storage containers. Pottery made of mica-rich clay has a readily recognizable characteristic sheen. Cochiti Pueblo potter Pam Tenorio used micaceous clay to produce the distinctive decorative glitter effect on the storyteller pictured above.
