Acoma Pueblo Pottery: Honoring the Tradition

I was familiar with Lucy Lewis and her heart-line deer designs, but knew little else about Acoma pottery before reading this lovely book. Dr. Barufaldi's descriptions of the artists' lives and family relationships have enriched my appreciation of these traditional works of art. The exquisite clarity of the photography by James Paul Barufaldi, Jr. does justice to the pots. Dr. Barufaldi's poem at the book's end is a touching tribute to those who gather clay from the earth and transform it into lasting beauty. The book honors the work and is a treasure itself.

Dr. Barufaldi does an amazing job of highlighting many of the important potters from the Acoma Pueblo. You’ll also have the opportunity to see many examples of their work that come from Dr. Barufaldi’s personal collection. A very informative and enjoyable read.

Another helpful book thanks

Excellent reference book, well written!

Such a lovely book. The photos are crystal clear and the wealth of information about the pottery and the culture is fascinating. A must have reference for anyone interested in Native American pottery.
