Marcus & I headed out Saturday morning for some extra credit for his NM History class at Coronado State Monument. It was a little chilly but was nice to be out and walking around with my camera....Haven't done that much lately. As we walked toward our first exhibit, we hear "Hi Marcus" being yelled from atop the kiva. I look over and three girls are waving at Marcus. He waves and we continue to walk to the first exhibit. Marcus takes some notes about the exhibit and says to me "You can stay here and take some pictures, I'm gonna go to the kiva." :)
We start with some detail shots of a traditional adobe hut and a conquistador's helmet. I want me a helmet like that. Next we have a pit firing from Ulysses Reid, potter from Zia Pueblo. It was cool to see the unveiling and how happy he was with the pieces. They were gorgeous and after cleaning will be a light to dark pumpkin color. The water jug in the first photo goes for about $480. Lastly is William ?, a blacksmith from Bernalillo. Here he is making a nail and some detail shots of his tools and workbench.
