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
Carmel Lewis
Carmel
Lewis was born in 1947 into the Acoma Sky City Pueblo.
She is one of the daughters of the world renowned late,
Lucy M. Lewis. Lucy was Carmel's biggest inspiration for
learning the ancient traditional methods of working with
natural handmade pottery. Carmel gathers her clay from
the pits within the Acoma Pueblo. She cleans her clay
by hand to purify the natural ingredients that mother
earth has provided her with. She hand mixes, hand coils,
and hand paints her pottery using the ancient
traditional outdoor firing techniques. Her unique hand
painted designs are replicated from traditional symbols
found on ancient pottery shards. Lucy was the driving
force behind the revival of pottery making as an art in
the pueblo of Acoma. The Lewis family keeps the same
patterns and does not move to a contemporary style
because it is very important to them to keep alive true
traditions and designs of the ancient mimbres people
alive. Some of the of these designs which are
replicated are the deer pot, lighting bolt pattern, and
the many variations of the mimbres patterns. She is
related to Emma Lewis-Mitchell, Dolores Lewis-Garcia
(sisters), and Drew Lewis (brother).
