Watching this video in 6th grade actually changed my life. The absolute mastery Martinez had and her skill at such an old age made me decide I wanted to master something the way she did. Now almost 20 years later, I know the amount of time, experience and absolute dedication it takes to reach that level and I still have a long way to go. Fountanately, I've got another 50 years to get there
Thanks for sharing this documentary. My grandmother was a collector of American Indian artifacts and gifted me upon her death a beautiful Maria pot that I treasure.
I've been showing this video to my class in its original VHS format for the last 10 years. I joke that they can get the sound track on iTunes. I was upset 2 years ago when my district did away with all of the VCR's we had. So happy to have found this on youtube. Thank you for making it available for everyone. Its an invaluable resource.
My lovely old VHS copy of this documentary is worn out, thank you for uploading it. I use this documentary in my classrooms to teach students methods for hand-built pottery. I want them to see a master artist creating works of beauty. They all gasp in appreciation when the pieces are retrieved from the fire. thanks again.
I don't believe I found this! I used to show it to my Middle School students (6,7,8) in the Parkway school district in St. Louis County, MO (Chesterfield, Ballwin, Manchester, etc.) And then to see a comment that seeing this in 6th grade actually changed someone's life. Wow.
DO YOU KNOW MORE ABOUT HER SHE IS ON MY FAMILY TREE AS MY GREAT GREAT GREAT GRANDMOTHER IM CALIFORNIA NATIVE FROM MY FATHER TACHI YOKUTS I HAVE AND KNOW ALL HISTORY ON MY FATHERS SIDE BUT SHE COMES FROM MY MOTHERS SIDE AND WERE BERLY FINDING ARE HISTORY ON ARE ANCESTORS FROM MY MOTHER AND GRANDMOTHERS SIDE
So excited to find this! I have an old VHS of this that I have loved showing to my ceramics classes, and I just can't depend on a VHS player anymore! Thanks! Visited and got to meet some of her descendants in San Ildefonso!
I remember learning about Maria's pottery in school too. I think it was high school. But people who say handbuilt pottery is simple haven't seen this film or Maria's finished pottery. 💜💜💜💜💜❤❤💜💜💜💜💜❤❤💜💜💜💜💜
Amazing. I am living in Colombia in Tolima area and ther is two ceramic village where they using similar technic for making black pottery, LA CHAMBA and old women still living at this day and making pot (2018) NATAGAIMA, they just don t paint decoration just black or red polish pottery.
The work is more than wonderful. Very beautiful antiques 👍. Why wasn't the clay fermented before work? What materials can I add to the mud? My greetings 🌹
SHE IS MY GREAT GREAT GREAT GRANDMOTHER AND I WOULD LOVE TO LURN MORE ABOUT HER AND HER BLOODLINE SHE IS ON MY NATIVE AMERICAN FAMILY TREE IF ANYONE HAS MORE INFO AND CAN HELP ME OUT I WOULD REALY APPRECIATE THE HELP
