Acoma Pueblo Pottery
Traditional Acoma pottery
is made using a slate-like clay found within the hills
surrounding the Pueblo. When fired using traditional methods,
this clay allows the potters to form very thin walls, a common
and sought after characteristic of Acoma pottery. Although hand
coiled pottery is preferred for its collectability, there are
many fine Acoma artists who prefer to use pour molded or
greenware pots as their canvas. While pour molded pots do not
retain the same value as a traditionally hand coiled piece,
their low price point makes them great for decorating or for
gifts. We carry a wide range of Authentic Acoma pottery from
artists like Dorothy Torivio, Sandra Victorino, Frederica
Antonio, Rachel Aragon, Theresa Garcia-Salvador, Wilfred Garcia,
Leland Robert Vallo, Kim Vallo, Paula Estevan, Robert Patricio,
Franklin Peters and more. For more info on the Acoma Pueblo,

the shape of the pot. Thin walled and hand coiled,
it is a terrific example of Acoma pottery made in
the traditional methods.

HAND COILED
ACOMA PUEBLO POTTERY
by
Wilfred Garcia Jr.
Wilfred
Garcia, Jr., is a full blooded Native American
Indian. He was born in 1954 into the Acoma Pueblo.
He was inspired to learn the art of working with
clay from his mother-in-law, the late Stella Shutiva.
She taught him all the fundamentals of working with
clay and using the ancient traditional methods that
have been passed down from generation to generation.
Wilfred was very artistically inclined as a young
boy and thus sparked his interest in pursuing a
career as a pottery artisan.
Wilfred has
established himself as a fine contemporary pottery
artisan. He gathers clumps of natural clays from
within the Acoma Pueblo. He breaks down the clumps
into a fine powder form which he hand mixes with
sand and water to temper the clay. Then, he rolls
his moist clay into snake like coils and begins
building his pottery into the desired shape. He
creates many shapes of pottery vessels such as:
seedpots, vases, and Mesa Verde motif vases with
ladders. Once his vessels are built he sets them out
to dry. Once his formed pottery vessels are dry he
sands them down for a smooth finish. Finally,
Wilfred fires his pottery in a kiln. He signs his
pottery as: WGarcia, Acoma. Wilfred states: “Making
pottery for over 12 years has given me joy and love
for my art. I take my time with every piece that I
construct so that each piece is special”. He is
related to: Jackie Histia-Shutiva (sister-in-law)
and Sandra Garcia (spouse).
