JEMEZ PUEBLO, N.M. (KRQE) – A
New Mexico woman has shared her craft more than 2,200 miles across the country
at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
“This year, we were fortunate
enough to come here to show how handmade pottery is made,” Wilma Tosa said in a
video produced by Harvard University.
Wilma and her husband Aaron
traveled from Jemez Pueblo to Harvard to help anthropology students get a hands-on
lesson at the university’s ceramics studio last month.
“My aunt, she used to always,
tap my hands, and she goes, ‘I love your hands,'” Wilma explained. “And one
time, I asked her, ‘What’s the difference?’
And she said, ‘You just have hands that you know how to work with your
pottery.'”
Her invaluable lesson made
headlines in the Boston Globe online and Wilma’s talent also got some traction
on social media.
