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,

ACOMA PUEBLO HAND COILED POTTERY
by Dorothy
Torivio
Dorothy
Torivio was born in 1946 into the Acoma Pueblo. She
is one of Acoma’s finest potters around today. She
travels all over the U.S. demonstrating her skills.
She has been making abstract designs on pottery
since 1974. Dorothy would observe her Mother, Mary
Valley, make pottery at a very young age. However,
Dorothy was self taught and did not receive any
direct instruction from her.
Dorothy specializes in
Acoma hand coiled abstract pottery. She got the idea
one day, back in 1982, to paint a design and repeat
it over and over again on the shape of the pot.
Dorothy basically combines the traditional pottery
with her own penchant for the kinetic image, and
thus creates an eye catching swirl design that
contains both radiating and spiral motion. She uses
a chewed yucca stalk that she fashions into a brush
to paint with. Dorothy breaks off only what she
needs so that the plant is not damaged and since it
comes from Mother earth, it’s free. Dorothy says “I
love the travel and expressing myself about my
pottery; it creates inspiration for the younger
artists out there.” Among the many relatives Sandra
Victorino (niece) is one following her footsteps.
This is
the largest pot we've personally seen from Dorothy.
Shaped perfectly with thin walls, it is a terrific piece
and a true collector's item. It is signed by Dorothy.

by
Judy Lewis
Judy Lewis is a full blooded
Native American Indian from the Pueblo of Acoma and she was born in 1966. She
has been making pottery since 1986. Judy was inspired to continue the family
tradition of clay sculpting by observing her many of her family members. She was
especially motivated by the passion and ambition that her sister, Marilyn
Ray-Lewis, showed towards working with clay, and the assistance that she gave to
her. Judy hand coils pottery, vases, and storytellers using the methods of her
ancestors. She only uses natural pigments for clay and paints. Judy has
developed a style of her own. She hand pinches and hand coils a contemporary
shape with traditional designs and colors. As with the entire family the colors
have a crisp but soft pastel look to them. Judy is related to the following
artists: Kathy Lewis (mother), Carolyn Concho Lewis (sister), and Sharon Lewis
(sister). She signs her art work as Judy Lewis, Acoma, N.M.
