She digs up her own clay, mixes, shapes, paints and fires her pottery, the traditional way, outdoors. She paints birds, serpents, feathers, and other traditional designs on her pottery. 'I always start out making bowls, and before I know it, I have a wedding vase.' Wedding vases are extremely challenging to make and she welcomes the challenge. Christine signs her pottery as: C. Tosa, Jemez, Walatowa.''
