ACOMA POTTERY

Western New Mexico is a land of lava flows, sandstone buttes, ice caves, and natural arches gracing isolated canyons. Overlooking this enchanted land is Acoma Pueblo, sitting high on a mesa, itts multi-story dwellings a honeycomb of sandstone reaching to the endless blue sky.

Acoma Pueblo, known as Sky City, is the oldest continuously inhabited settlement in the United States. Today's life at the pueblo is still much like it was hundreds of years ago with no electricity or running water. Located just an hour from Albuquerque, Acoma Pueblo can take the visitor back in time. Yet, it is also the home to some of the southwest's most renowned potters.
