<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Taupou, post: 380656, member: 45&quot;]Forgot to add that according to <u>Dirt for Making Things, An Apprenticeship in Maricopa Pottery</u>, a co-op was formed in 1938 to encourage the revival of pottery making at Maricopa, and there were 17 potters working then.&nbsp; Lena Mesquerre was named as one of the 17.</p><p><br /></p><p>The decorated pots were all made for sale, and provided an important source of income for the women involved.&nbsp; I&#039;ve found that one seldom finds two Maricopa pots remotely alike (unlike those from other southwest tribes, who tended to reproduce popular forms and patterns.)&nbsp; Instead, each potter seemed to be able to make pots readily identifiable as Maricopa, but each unique.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
