Contemporary Jemez Pueblo Pottery
Welcome! As a potter from Jemez Pueblo, I’m proud to be part of a long tradition of handmade pottery, and to work with pot styles that have been passed from generation to generation of the Jemez people.
I learned traditional hand coiling, stone polishing and firing methods from my family before me, and use these skills every day to work with the clay. Each piece is an opportunity to explore new possibilities and create something beautiful.
Pottery is the way of my life. I was raised to create beautiful works of art, and I plan to work on pottery for as long as I can.
