Lolita Concho

Lolita Concho was a renowned potter from the Acoma Pueblo in New Mexico, known for her skill in creating traditional Acoma pottery. Acoma pottery is celebrated for its fine, white clay, intricate geometric designs, and distinctive artistry, and Lolita was part of a long line of Acoma potters who have kept these traditions alive for generations.

Her pottery often featured beautifully detailed designs, some inspired by ancient motifs passed down within her community. As with many Native American potters, she worked with natural materials found in the surrounding environment and used traditional techniques like hand-coiling and pit-firing to create her pieces.

Lolita Concho’s work contributed to the ongoing legacy of Acoma Pueblo pottery, which is considered some of the finest in the world. Her pottery is admired for both its technical excellence and its role in preserving Acoma culture and craftsmanship.

While much of her work may be found in private collections and museums, her impact on the world of Native American pottery continues to be celebrated.
