Robert Patricio
Acoma Pueblo
B&W Seed Pot
4.5" H x 5" D
$735.00 $585.00
Flute Neck Vase
6" H x 5" D
$795.00 $650.00
|
Robert Patricio was born into the Acoma Pueblo 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 sherds 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.
He signs his pottery as: R. Patricio, Acoma, NM.

Traditional Hopi Katsinas
Various Artists
|
Traditional Hopi katsina dolls - sometimes referred to as “old style” - have made a massive resurgence as a fine art form. Carvers today are known for their meticulous attention to detail and for hand fashioning even the smallest accouterments.
In the Hopi culture, these dolls are given to young boys and girls during various dances and ceremonies in order to acquaint them with the spirit beings who govern over life on earth. They are hung prominently in Hopi homes and remain there as prized possessions.
|
|
These figures were created by several different artists and depict a variety of katsinam including (clockwise from upper left) the Zuni Fire God, Koyemsi or Mudhead, Pokonghoya, Left-handed Hunter, Sakwa-hu, Hi-lili, and Kuwan Heyheya in the center.
These items will be going on our website soon, but are available now Sizes range from 10" to 12" tall, and prices range from $245-$365. Please contact me for more info.
