"Pueblo Pottery Making: A Study at the Village of San Ildefonso" by Carl E. Guthe is a work that carefully records the age-old pottery methods of the Pueblo Indians in San Ildefonso, New Mexico, during the early 1900s. It looks at the materials they used, how they made the pots, and why pottery was important to their culture. The study starts by introducing San Ildefonso and its history as a major pottery-making place. Guthe talks about why he decided to study the pottery, pointing out the amazing skills of the local potters and how their art keeps changing. This intro prepares you for a full look at how the pottery is made, from the raw materials and tools to the complicated steps taken by the Pueblo women, and acknowledges the mix of old traditions and new ideas that keep Pueblo pottery alive.
