    Handmade micaceous clay mask adorned with white feathers and corn husks, by Taos Pueblo artist Bernadette. Approx: 8 1/2" x
    8" x 1 7/8" including corn husks.
    Bernadette Track’s training centered on theater and dance, but, like her mother and grandmother before her, the pull of clay has been strong.
    In 1980 she began making pottery.
    She uses traditional pit firing and hand coiling methods. The firing process tones the micaceous clay with a ‘fire-cloud’ of black and grey colors. Today, Bernadette is one of the most accomplished potters of Taos Pueblo.
