Storyteller Pueblo Pottery

Storyteller Pottery by Judy Lewis from the Acoma Pueblo. Judy Lewis is a full blooded Native American Indian from the Pueblo of Acoma and she was born in 1966. Judy has been making pottery since 1986. Judy was inspired to continue the family tradition of clay sculpting by observing many of her family members. She was especially motivated by the passion and ambition that her sister, Marily Ray-Lewis, showed towards working with clay, and the assistance that she gave to her. Judy hand coils pottery, vases, and storytellers using the methods of her ancestors. She uses only natural pigments for clay and paints. Judy has developed a special style of her own.
