About The Artist

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.

More About the Artist

Pueblo

Acoma Pueblo is situated on top of a mesa, hundreds of feet above the surrounding land. It commands a breathtaking view of the countryside, other mesas, and the distant mountains – no wonder it is called Sky City.
The thin-walled and delicately decorated pottery of Acoma Pottery is among the most prized Indian crafts.
