    Ceramic mask, 'Song in the Night'

    A mysterious personage in a feathered headdress sings aloud. On each cheek, symbols pay tribute to the night. Working in the time-honored black pottery tradition of Oaxaca, the Nieto Galan Family creates this splendid mask. The fired clay is burnished to a sheen with a piece of quartz.

    "Our story is one of a family birthright. From the time we were children, we've learned to work with black pottery. In 1996, my wife and I set up a family workshop. It has grown over the years and, with more work, we've had to collaborate with more people. Our children also lend a hand. In addition to their schoolwork, they have learned the craft that is our legacy to them.

    "My father, Don Valente Nieto Real and my grandmother, Doña Rosa, were the first to work in shiny black pottery and, just like he taught me, I have passed the knowledge on to my children. In our workshop, five families have become one. The women who assist us need to work and we offer them jobs and help. We have set up the workshop so that they can be with their children and look after them, but there is no risk to them.

    "We've had our problems, but we've also had moments of great happiness. These have inspired us to continue striving to get ahead, and this is what we project in our ceramic designs."
