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 Jose Antonio
Jose
M. Antonio is a full blooded Native American Indian
from the Roadrunner Clan. He was born into the
Acoma Pueblo on March 13, 1966. He credits his
mother, Hilda Antonio, known for her hand sculpted
owls, and his grandmother, Eva Histia, for his
inspiration. They taught him all the fundamentals
of working with clay art using the ancient
traditional hand coiling methods. He was a natural
at painting his designs at a very young age.
Jose
specializes in authentic hand coiled and hand
painted polychrome jars and bowls. He gathers the
raw clumps of clays from the Acoma Pueblo along with
the natural vegetation which is used for making the
natural colors used to paint the designs. He begins
by breaking the clumps of clay and cleaning it
until it reaches a fine medium. Then, the clay is
mixed with water and other natural pigments and thus
begins the hand coiling process. He rolls out snake
like coils stacking each coil carefully to build the
shape of the vessel. Once the vessel has been
shaped and formed it is set out to dry. Then, he
begins working on the natural vegetation that he has
gathered such as, spinach plant which provides the
black color, and various other plants that provide
more vibrant colors. A yucca stem is fashioned
into a brush for painting the designs. Once the
vessel has dried he sands it for a smooth painting
surface. Then, he boils his pigments and plant life
to form just the right colors. He finally starts
the authentic hand painting process on his vessel.
He enjoys painting feathers and fineline designs.
Once the painting has been complete and the paint
has dried Jose fires his pottery in a kiln. His
family is well known for their exquisite hand
painted traditional designs. He signs his pottery
as: J. Antonio, Acoma.

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.
