ACOMA PUEBLO POTTERY

by Wilfred Garcia Jr.

Wilfred Garcia, Jr., is a full blooded Native American Indian. He was born in 1954 into the Acoma Pueblo. He was inspired to learn the art of working with clay from his mother-in-law, the late Stella Shutiva. She taught him all the fundamentals of working with clay and using the ancient traditional methods that have been passed down from generation to generation. Wilfred was very artistically inclined as a young boy and thus sparked his interest in pursuing a career as a pottery artisan.

Wilfred has established himself as a fine contemporary pottery artisan. He gathers clumps of natural clays from within the Acoma Pueblo. He breaks down the clumps into a fine powder form which he hand mixes with sand and water to temper the clay. Then, he rolls his moist clay into snake like coils and begins building his pottery into the desired shape. He creates many shapes of pottery vessels such as: seedpots, vases, and Mesa Verde motif vases with ladders. Once his vessels are built he sets them out to dry. Once his formed pottery vessels are dry he sands them down for a smooth finish. Finally, Wilfred fires his pottery in a kiln. He signs his pottery as: WGarcia, Acoma. Wilfred states: “Making pottery for over 12 years has given me joy and love for my art. I take my time with every piece that I construct so that each piece is special”. He is related to: Jackie Histia-Shutiva (sister-in-law) and Sandra Garcia (spouse).

ACOMA PUEBLO HAND COILED POTTERY

by Robert & Melody Patricio

Robert Patricio is a full blooded Native American Indian who was born into the Acoma Pueblo. He was given the Indian name of “Bear” when he was born on June 10, 1976. He learned the traditional methods of hand coiling pottery when he was eight years old by observing his friends and relatives work on their pottery while living in the Acoma Pueblo. His family members taught him the long lived traditional methods of constructing beautiful clay art using the ancient methods of his ancestors.

He specializes in traditional hand coiled and hand painted pottery. He gathers his clays, slips, and natural vegetation to begin constructing his masterpieces. Robert cleans his own clay for impurities, hand mixes with water and begins constructing pottery vessels from snake like coils. Robert sets his vessels out to dry and once dried he sands his pottery for a smooth finish so that he can begin hand painting his designs. While his pottery is waiting to dry he boils all the natural vegetation together and creates his natural colors from natural plants such as spinach plant and various flowers. The designs on his pottery are re-created from old ancient pottery shards found within the Acoma Pueblo that his ancestors once painted hundreds of years ago. His designs include geometric, fertility, Tularosa swirls, and kiva step patterns. When the painting is complete he finishes his masterpieces by firing his pottery outdoors, the traditional way that he was taught. This piece is signed R&M Patricio as it is a collaboration between Robert and his wife, Melody.

This piece showcases Robert's incredible talent with a unique design.

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 in her footsteps.

SANTA CLARA TWO TONE POTTERY

by Dusty Naranjo

Like her brother, Forrest Naranjo, Dusty was not raised in a strictly pueblo environment. Her father, Tito Naranjo, was a university professor and this less traditional upbringing probably accounts for the contemporary styles of Dusty's pottery. In fact, Dusty did not even pursue pottery until a little later in life. She first graduated with a BA in psychology from NM Highlands University and recently obtained her Master's Degree in Art Therapy. However, having been exposed to pottery making throughout her life -- both her parents pot and her father's siblings are Jody Folwell, Nora Naranjo- Morse and Dolly Naranjo -- it was perhaps inevitable that Dusty give it a try. When she did begin potting she discovered that is was a wonderful creative process. Using only traditional techniques, Dusty is now a well known potter having progressed far in a short period of time.

This beautiful piece features intricate butterfly designs and is signed Dusty.
