The clay sculpturer

    On November 30, 2012 my mom and I went to visit a clay artist named Manuel Reyes.  He lives in a town called Yanhuitlan.

This is me making clay next too Manuel.

I made some clay pieces: a bear (Oso in spanish) a dragon and a burro.  Manuel made a Luchador for my mom.  We also went to visit and collect geodes and rocks on land owned by a woman named Doña Chole who had a lot of prehispanic pottery, fossils and mammoth teeth she found in her fields of corn.

    We are going back in a few weeks to paint our pottery  and to fire them.

    I really liked going on the trip, learning how to make pottery, meeting the family and taking a hike on Doña Chole's amazing land.

This is Doña Chole.

This is Miel, Manuel's kitten.
