Pueblo pottery

Pueblo pottery is traditional handmade ceramics crafted by Indigenous peoples of the Southwestern United States, especially the Pueblos. Known for its intricate designs, vibrant colors, and functional forms, it often features geometric patterns and symbolic motifs. These pottery pieces serve both practical purposes, like storing food and water, and cultural ones, including ceremonial uses and storytelling. Artisans use natural clay and mineral-based paints, applying traditional techniques passed down through generations. Pueblo pottery embodies a rich cultural heritage, showcasing artistic skill, history, and the community’s spiritual practices.
