Jeanette Winter: Josefina

The Learning Center is privileged to feature folk artist Josefina Aguilar, whose family is part of a long tradition of clay artisans in Ocotlán, Mexico. Josefina tells Aguilar’s story, from when she first learned to mould clay as a baby to the whimsical figures she makes today. Illustrator and writer Jeanette Winter is faithful to the Mexican tradition in her charming counting book.To complement the illustrations in the book, several of Josefina’s clay sculptures are also on display.
Meet Jeanette Winter on Sunday, November 9, at 1:30 as part of our Clay Family Day
