Digital image scanned from a 35mm black and white negative of ceramist Abbas M. Ahuwan with two unidentified campers taken near the Haystack Mountain School of Crafts during the 1974 annual summer session. The two campers flank ceramics instructor Ahuwan. The woman on the left wears a light color bandana and a light color long sleeve shirt over a light color blouse. The woman on the right wears a dark color tank top with long earrings and a bandana on her head. Ahuwan, in the middle, wears light color garments and a dark color, pleated, patterned cap, likely a Hausa cap. He was a ceramic instructor that summer. They all look directly into the camera. Behind them are trees.
