Category: Pottery | Posted by | Thu, Aug 4th 2016, 3:59pm
Maria Laweka was a daughter of Damacia Cordero, the famous figurine potter from Cochiti Pueblo, and sister to Martha Arquero and Josephine Arquero, both of whom were potters of note. It is not known if she is still making pottery figurines. Not many potters make standing figurines, perhaps because it is difficult to get them to balance and stand securely.
