Acoma Pottery

The oldest continuously-populated town in the United States lies atop a high mesa in New Mexico. This is the pueblo of Acoma, which looks today much as it did when the Spanish arrived in the 1500s. Acoma Pueblo is well-known for its beautiful white, thin-walled pottery, often with parrots, rainbows and Mimbres figures. Lucy Lewis and her descendants, the Torivio and Chino families are among the most respected families of potters.
