This volume introduces potters of the past two centuries form Pueblos located south of Santa Fe: Acoma, Cochiti, Isleta, Jemez & Pecos, Laguna, Sandia, San Felipe, Santa Ana, Santo Domingo, Tigua/Ysleta del Sur, Zia and Zuni. The goal was to record all known potters from past to present. This is more than a book about Pueblo potters and pottery, it is an essential guide to an entire world. Potters, scholars, and collectors will find a compassionately reasoned understanding of that sphere is carefully folded onto every page. Painstakingly compiled, the volume will for decades remain a primary resource. --Dr. Bruce Bernstein, Smithsonian Institution We applaud the efforts of Dr. Gregory Schaaf in his American Indian Art Series and look forward to each new publication.
