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.

ACOMA PUEBLO HAND COILED POTTERY

by Leland Robert Vallo

Leland Robert Vallo “Pinion Mesa”, is a full blooded Native American Indian, who was born in 1969 into the Acoma Pueblo.

Leland specializes in hand coiled Tularosa Swirl pattern pottery. He gathers his clay from the grounds within the Acoma Pueblo along with other natural pigments.

He also paints animals, mimbres designs, and incorporates Kiva step patterns into his designs. He also paints on ceramic ware from time to time. Leland states that he is still amazed at the quality of the artwork that Native Americans produce today. However, his biggest inspiration thrives from memories that he has from his mother and best friend, the late Marie Vallo. He signs his pottery as: L. Vallo, Acoma , N.M.

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.

ACOMA PUEBLO HAND COILED POTTERY

by Nadine & Louise Mansfield

Louis & Nadine Mansfield are full blooded Native American Indians from the Laguna Pueblo and the Acoma Pueblo. Louis was born in 1967 and Nadine was born in 1968. They were taught the fundamentals of pottery making from several different artists, including Betty Ramirez-Concho (mother).   The continuance of family traditions is extremely important to these fine artists. Nadine was 17 years of age when her interest in pottery making evolved. She would assist other artisans with their work and Nadine learned several different methods of the clay process.

Louis & Nadine specialize in handmade pottery. They both assist each other in every aspect of working with the clay. They gather natural pigments found within the Acoma Pueblo. They clean, mix, coil, shape, paint, and fire their pottery in a kiln. One of their trademarks is the lizards climbing all over the pottery. The lizards represent good luck and a long life. They make a wide variety of sizes, shapes, and paint intricate traditional patterns. They sign their pottery as: Louis, Nadine Mansfield, Acoma.
