Celebrate Mother’s Day and support the historic La Luz Pottery Factory during a pottery sale and fundraising dinner on May 10. Each handcrafted or wheel-thrown ceramics piece to be offered for purchase at the dinner was created at La Luz during classes that continue the factory’s historic legacy of producing outstanding ceramics.
To support upkeep and operations on the historic site, the dinner will be modelled on “Empty Bowl” events held throughout the country where soups are served in bowls offered for purchase at the dinner. Pottery pieces donated by ceramics artists taking classes at the La Luz Pottery Factory will also be featured in a silent auction with one-of-a-kind ceramics artworks made at the historic location.
A Southern New Mexico treasure, La Luz Pottery dates to the 1930s when the factory turned out monumental pieces and utilitarian roof tiles. Built by the wealthy New England industrialist Roland Hazard, the factory created over 90 styles of pottery that were actively collected around the world before it closed in 1949.
Today, La Luz Pottery continues its legacy of creativity by offering classes to ceramics students from beginners to experienced potters. The factory is run entirely by volunteers and supported by the nonprofit Tularosa Basin Historical Society.
Tours of the historic location are also available through the Tularosa Basin Museum of History on Saturday mornings. Call 575-434-4438 to schedule a tour and discover the wonders of this historic site.

After reading all 27 pages of HB20, I wouldn't race to join the board, or apply for a grant.
There is almost no emphasis on helping tech startups, and what little there is, is primarily aimed at green energy initiatives that would create very few jobs.
Sunny, with a high of 90 and low of 58 degrees. Sunny in the morning, clear in the afternoon and evening,
385 more court cases added this week to an already over-burdened system.
This is part of a right wing conspiracy to keep moderate voices off the air.
Get well soon Anthony.
fascinating, i had no idea that diabetes was part of a conspiracy.
Many states including New Mexico have discouraged their residents from obtaining a Real ID by charging substantially more than a "Standard ID".
New Mexico charges an additional $18 for a Real ID, doubling the cost of a license or ID here.
Other states charge up to $90 or more for a Real ID.
question for you - do you know when the requirement for "real id" came about?
2005 was when the dept of homeland security was established - right in the middle of the bush/cheney regime....we took a giant step toward becoming a police state - and dear leader is working towards even more "big brother".
The dept. of Homeland Security was established in 2002, and became active in 2003. The requirement for Real ID was started in 2005.
Way to go MLG!!
You've secured 2 hundredths of 1% of the $10 trillion in foreign investment announced so far in the last few weeks.
What would we do without leadership like this?
at least she's facilitating foreign investments, while our Dear Leader is telling our trading partners and allies to take a hike.
You confuse me.
You say she's facilitating foreign investment, but then say "Our dear leader is telling partners and allies to take a hike" which could only refer to her. Because as I stated in my previous post, Trump has negotiated $10 trillion in investments from our partners and allies so far.
So MLG says the root problem is loneliness.
What has she and her party done to help?
Ive always leaned liberal and progressive, but hold to my Independent voter status. I have become extremely disenchanted with Gov Grisham over time. While I won't speak from any political position here, I have to agree with Commissioner Barelas comments about our Govs claims not matching with her actions. Also, I
