Felicita Eustance Pottery C3688.79At 88 years of age, Felicita Eustace is still working making storyteller figurines, using all native materials and firing in the traditional outdoor firing process.  She told me that she still has clay that her husband, Ben, gathered for her years ago so she doesn't have to worry about digging clay at this time.   She is so small and petit, probably less than 100 pounds, that I hope she does not ever have to dig clay.  The last time I saw her, over a year ago, her grandson was driving her around.
