With our Annual Holiday Craft Tour that has taken place for the past 45 years at various locations within Six Nations cancelled this month, we wanted to highlight some of our unique art and artists who you can normally find at one of the many sites 🤗
.

Today we share Hodinosho:ni clay pottery done by local artist Judy Henhawk Sault 👩🏽🎨
.
.
Traditionally women were the pottery makers in ancient communities creating similar but distinctive styles for each of the Six Nations. Utilizing clay running in veins in the ground the clay would be collected and mixed with sand to hold together and designed in to beautiful styles depicting the natural earth it came from 🌍 💕. After placed in hot fire the soft clay would harden and create waterproof pottery, much like the ones shared within this photo ✨
.
.
Judy creates her own pottery through Blue Feather Pottery and Workshops - and can be found on Facebook 🤗
