A totem is a natural object, life a leaf or rock, or an animate being, as an animal or bird, or even a natural phenomenon, like wind or fire, assumed as the emblem of a clan, family, or group. Although the word is of Ojibwa origin, cultures throughout time and across the globe have similarly represented and mythologized their families and origins.

Yonkers Peace Pottery Studio is located at 379 McLean Avenue. We offer pottery-making classes, parties and workshops for adults and children. Online we are parked at www.yonkerspottery.com.
