DESCRIPTION |
Ida Redbird, master potter of the Maricopa Indians, is credited with being the leader of the movement to improve the quality of Maricopa ceramics, gaining national fame and appropriate prices for their wares. An articulate but modest artist, she shared her knowledge and skill with children, teaching classes at the Heard Museum perpetuating the paddle and anvil techniques of the ancient Hohokams. Although born in Laveen on the Gila River Reservation, her lifetime home, her artistic influence spread across the nation. |
