| Emma
Lewis - Acoma Pueblo |
|
Emma Lewis-Mitchell was born in 1931 into the Acoma Sky
City Pueblo. She is the daughter of the world renowned, Lucy M.
Lewis. Emma has been around great pottery artists her whole life,
although, her greatest inspiration came down from her mother, Lucy.
Emma is a self taught artisan and learned the ancient traditional
methods of working with clay by carefully observing Lucy in her
pottery constructions. Emma chose to continue the long lived tradition
of working with pottery and using the ancient methods. Emma gathers
her own natural pigments and clays from the clay pits within the
Acoma Pueblo. She cleans her clay for impurities by hand, then,
she hand mixes, hand coils, hand paints, and uses a traditional
firing method to add the finishing touch to her wonderful masterpieces
which mother earth has blessed her.
