Hi to all, Today day I am featuring my information on a female artist, born in 1915 a town called Cochiti Pueblo New Mexico. The artist is Helen Cordero and was born at a time when the rich pottery tradition was declining. In the late 1950s, Helen and her cousin, an accomplished potter began their journey making pottery a nice change to from their bead and leather work. Helen never liked her bowls she was making so her cousin said why not try making figurines and so a never-ending story began. So began countless birds and animals and people came to life. A traditional form was a female holding a child, she was known as the singing mother. When Helen started the female form, she was repeatedly seeing her grandfather Santiago Quintana, who constantly had his grandchildren on his knee telling stories. So her first form turned male with countless children all over him and he was called the storyteller. Almost immediately, the Story Teller brought Cordero public attention. Helen
