Acoma arts and crafts

Acoma arts and crafts are traditional handmade items created by the Acoma Pueblo people, a Native American community in New Mexico. Renowned for their intricate pottery, especially their finely painted, thin-walled bowls and vessels, Acoma artisans also craft jewelry, textiles, and carvings. Their art reflects a deep cultural history, utilizing natural materials like clay, sandstone, and feathers, often featuring geometric and symbolic designs. These crafts are highly valued for their craftsmanship, cultural significance, and connection to Acoma heritage, serving both functional and ceremonial purposes while preserving centuries-old traditions.
