Collection: Pottery

Native American pottery is one of the oldest and most revered art forms, originating out of necessity for cooking, storage, and water vessels. As civilizations like Mesa Verde and Chaco Canyon flourished, pottery techniques became highly refined, allowing potters to perfect their craft. Today, Pueblo and Navajo potters continue to carry on these ancient traditions. Pueblo potters, using techniques passed down for generations, hand coil their pots from locally sourced clay, creating stunning blackware, redware, and polychrome pottery with intricate designs that represent their culture, such as animals, kachinas, and rain clouds.

Navajo pottery, initially utilitarian and covered with pine pitch for holding water, has evolved dramatically over the years. Navajo artisans now blend traditional methods with contemporary designs, often incorporating hand-carved, etched patterns, and even turquoise stones. The Navajo are also known for their unique horsehair pottery, which leaves delicate, striking lines on each piece during the firing process. While some Navajo potters use modern techniques like wheel-throwing or greenware, many are returning to the ancient coil method.
