Joseph Cerno

Keeping traditional Acoma Pottery making alive. I am a third generation potter, passed down from my grandmother and parents. It is a great honor to recreate designs from the Matriarchs of Acoma Pueblo also designs from from Zuni and Hopi. My pottery making skills are all traditional. Hand coiled and natural materials: yucca, natural acoma clay, natural minerals and plant base to make colored slips. Truly authentic Acoma Pottery.
