Book Overview
Voices in Clay is a dialogue between working Pueblo potters and the pottery made by their ancestors between 1880 and 1940. Three traditional potters and three Pueblo pottery experts selected more than a hundred pots for inclusion in this book. The three Pueblo potters were Elvis Torrez of San Ildefonso Pueblo, Robert Tenorio of Santa Domingo Pueblo and Steve Lucas, a First Mesa Hopi-Tewa. The three curators - Bruce Bernstein, J.J. Brody and Tony Chavarria (from Santa Clara Pueblo and curator of ethnology at the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture in Santa Fe) - were present to guide the conversation and to interpret the significance of indigenous pottery for the non-Pueblo world. The result is a narrative of multiple voices. There are the potters' words describing the pottery in front of them, the process of pottery-making, the pottery-making world and the process the curators and potters went through in selecting works for the book. Historical introductions by Bernstein and Brody bring context to the selection of pots.
