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).

LAGUNA PUEBLO HAND COILED POTTERY
by
Max Early
Max Early was born in
1963 into the Laguna Pueblo. His mother is of the Turkey Clan and his
father is of the Bear Clan. Max married into the Cochiti Pueblo and has
3 children. His interest in tradition began when he was a teenager
living with his grandparents. Max was never encouraged to actually work
with clay since his grandmother, Clara Acoya Encino, emphasized that
pottery making was a woman’s job. It was, however, acceptable for Max to
assist with painting his grandmother’s pots. He began doing this when
she developed arthritis and could no longer paint. He eventually moved
away to attend college and his interest in pottery lay dormant for
nearly 10 years.
He began painting
ceramic ware as a hobby, but couldn’t feel any life in the commercial
pieces. He decided to venture out on his own. He knew where to gather
raw materials and set out, with determination, to make a large olla.
Once complete, Max called on a fellow potter, Gladys Paquin, and asked
her teach him how to fire pottery. His first olla survived the firing
and Max took the success as a sign that he was destined to become an
artisan.
With only a handful
of traditional potters existing in the Laguna Pueblo, Max knew what his
obligation to his Pueblo would be. Max says that he first learned to
make drums and moccasins. However, drum and moccasin makers were a dime
a dozen. His decision to change over to traditional pottery came from
his desire to help save the art of pottery making within his pueblo from
extinction. Max is encouraging his children to continue the pottery
making tradition. Max’s goal to become a mentor for his people will
fulfill his ambition to keep the tradition alive and endure for future
generations to come.
This is an exceptional piece from Max
with a lovely scalloped rim, great shape and clean paint
work. It is signed Max Early, Laguna.
