Daria Mariscal instructs a small group of artists how to make her traditional Pai Pai pottery, using only a river stone, small wooden paddle and a cloth-covered fired clay base form. Daria harvests and hand-processes the native clay, as generations of her female ancestors have before her. January 2017, Baja, Mexico
