Hand Potter © Marilyn Anderson. Linocut, 9 1/16″ x 11 7/8″
This potter of San Luis Jilotepeque is one of others in many parts of Guatemala who still build, entirely by hand, charming items for cooking, storing water, etc. But nowadays, pottery containers, such as she makes, are much less used –– a trend that began in the 70s with the introduction of plastic water jars and other plastic ware.
