Description
This
undated
photograph
was
taken
while
Maude
Welch
was
making
pottery
on the
porch
of her
home
.
Maude
French
Welch
(1894
–
1953)
was was
born
near
Cooper's
Creek
in the
Birdtown
section
of the
Qualla
Boundary
. Her
pottery
was
formed
entirely
by
hand
and
made
from
local
clay
. She
used
a
variety
of
small
knives
to
shape
her
clay
pots
and
polished
them by
burnishing
with a
smooth
stone
. The
coloration
on her
pots
comes
from
burning
them with
different
types
of
wood
. In the
1930s
, she
taught
pottery
at the
Cherokee
Boarding
School
.
While
she was
exposed
to
more
modern
methods
of
producing
pottery
,
Welch
insisted
on
maintaining
tradition
and
making
her
pottery
the
“old
way.”
Welch
was an
aunt
of the
Bigmeats
, a
prominent
family
of
Cherokee
potters
. The
photographer's
name
is
unknown
.
