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
Terrence Chino
Terrance M. Chino, Sr.
is a full blooded Native American Indian. He is a member of the Sun Clan
and he was born in 1965 into the Acoma Pueblo. He learned the ancient
traditional methods of working with clay art from his mother, the late,
Evelyn L. Chino. She taught him all the fundamentals of where to gather
clay and how to prepare and hand coil pottery. She also taught him the
importance of continuing the long lived tradition of his ancestors.
Terrance gathers his
clay, natural pigments, and vegetation from within the Acoma Pueblo. He
cleans it for impurities and hand mixes it with sand and water to temper
the clay. Then, he begins the hand coiling process, he prays and chants
while he works on his pottery so that each piece is blessed. When he has
completed the hand coiling and his pot has taken form he sets them out
to dry. While the pottery is drying he breaks down all his plants so
that he may begin hand boiling colors for his masterpieces. He gathers
plants such as spinach plant and wild flowers for this process. When his
pottery is fully dried he sands each piece to a smooth finish and begins
hand painting with the stem of a yucca plant which has been fashioned
into a brush. He hand paints his favorite designs of checkerboards,
flowers, mimbres, and sunfaces. Finally, Terrance fires his pottery the
traditional way, outdoors. He signs his pottery as: Terrance M. Chino,
Sr., Acoma, N.M. Terrance is related to: Terrance M. Chino, Jr. (son)
Emil Chino, Jeffrey Chino, Sr., (brothers), Ilona Chino, Colleen Marian,
Marlene Vallo, Idene Mariano (sisters), Ivan F. Chino (father), and the
late, Evelyn L. Chino (mother).

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.
