THE WOMEN OF LOMA PANDA
(photo right)
The small group of women in La Naranja who produce the clay drums
came together relatively recently. Several years ago they were
invited to a drum- making workshop facilitated by Potters for
Peace.
From all those who attended
the workshop, they were the only group that returned to their
community and applied what they had learned. They know all too
well from their lives in a poor agricultural community that nothing
should be taken for granted or wasted. They use their hands, the
clay from the nearby river, and the skins from the cattle of neighboring
communities to create these hearty sounding drums.
