Part 1: Reading Comprehension

Women and Clay

Her grandmother, mother, aunts, sisters and some nieces are now or have been clay artisans, the same as Delfina Aguilera. She is part of a long tradition known as Loceras de Piln, in a small rural town near Cauquenes, in the Maule region. She is one of the typical artisans who year after year participate in a traditional handicrafts fair in Santiago. Delfina Aguilera, with her long braids, bright eyes and refreshing smile receives all visitors who reach her stand and talks about her work. There, they can see the work of the loceras, which has been part of this fair since the beginning. What visitors can see are clay figures and tools, made by her and some of her relatives, completely by hand. Our main talent is that we make everything by hand; no wheel, says Delfina, who learnt this craft as a small girl from her mother, and then continued working with her grandmother. My grandmother, mother and aunts have also worked with clay. When my mother was still alive, I began making small figures, but then felt confident to do bigger things. My fathers mother also worked in this and with her I learnt the most, because my mother died when I was only seven years old. Of the twelve children that Delfina had, only one of her daughters continued with the ceramic tradition, but now she rarely touches clay: she is a car mechanic and works at a car-repair place. She can change car wheels all by herself, says her mother proudly. Delfina knows that her granddaughters are not going to be into handicrafts. Nevertheless, she knows that this feminine tradition is still deeply rooted in her native town, and expresses itself in an eternal vocation. There are very old ladies there; some are still in this, some are not. I have nieces and sisters also working in clay. If you go to Piln youll see that all the women work in clay. Not the men, because they think they should be doing other jobs, she explains. So to me it is a real honour to still be part of this tradition. I will keep doing it as long as my hands let me. Its been a whole life, and Im willing to teach all the kids who are willing to learn I) Choose the best option to fill in the blanks in each sentence (Elige la mejor opcin para llenar el espacio de cada oracin.) a.
