When asked the meaning of her pottery, Alice Cling told us, "It is about Mother Earth and how she provides for us." Alice tells us that since she digs clay from special earthly sources; builds earthen kilns; fires with pinion wood gathered from local canyons and mesa tops; and seals her pottery with pitch from those same trees, Mother Earth provides everything but the manual labor. When it comes from Alice Cling and Mother Earth, the outcome is fabulous.
