Details

This is a Jemez Pueblo storyteller figurine, a type of pottery that depicts a maternal figure, often a grandmother, with children clinging to her as she tells them stories. The storyteller figurine is a form of Native American pottery that originated in the Cochiti Pueblo in the 1960s with artist Helen Cordero. The tradition was adopted by other pueblos, including the Jemez Pueblo, which has become known for its storytellers. The figures are meant to symbolize the transmission of cultural heritage, knowledge, and wisdom from one generation to the next. The Fragua family is a prominent family of potters from the Jemez Pueblo known for creating storyteller figures.

    The Thrifting Teacher (Elsie)

    Selling since November 2023

    Hi! I'm a retired teacher and taught for over 25 years in NYC public schools. Around the spring of 2021, I was standing on the corner a nearby street having cup of coffee (no indoor seating). All of a sudden a core memory unlocked. I remembered there was a thrift store just across the street. My mom and I used to shop there all the time when I was a little girl. And I remembered how much my mom loved it! I remember the racks, the shelves, and the all-too-familiar scent of a thrift store. Oh, how I missed those times with my mom so much. I began looking up thrift stores to shop at here in NYC. I also began watching thrifting videos and reconnecting with the now vintage things my mother loved. One day, I said to myself: "Elsie, you can do this. You have a good eye and you can absolutely become a reseller." So here I am, a former teacher, a thrifter and a reseller with an awesome retirement plan. Much love!
