Robert Vigil learned to make pottery from Lonnie Vigil and Virginia Gutierrez.  Each piece is coil made with micaceous clay and micaceous clay slipped.  They are traditionally fired to create the black coloration.  This is a classic bowl shape on which the focus is the firing and the coloration.  The black varies from dark areas to nearly gunmetal.  It is signed on the bottom in the clay.
