Holt, Lisa and Harlan Reano – Flame Jar with Wildflower Designs
$ 2,800.00
This is a creative jar by Lisa Holt and Harlan Reano. Working together, they make an amazing team as they create innovative pottery using traditional techniques. Lisa makes the pottery, and it is painted by Harlan. This jar has a tightly painted wild spinach plant design around the neck. Wild spinach is the plant used to paint the black on Cochiti pottery. On the body of the jar, there are large wildflowers extending across the surface. The jar has “flame” or plant tendril extrusions in two sections. They extend outward and are painted with wild spinach for the black. The flames and imagery create a cohesive appearance and flow of design and form. The materials are all traditional, as the red and cream are both native clays, while the black is wild spinach (a plant). The jar is traditionally fired outdoors. It is signed, “Lisa Holt & Harlan Reano”.

Lisa Holt & Harlan Reano
Lisa Holt and Harlan Reano make an amazing team, working to create innovative pottery using traditional techniques. Lisa makes the vessels, and Harlan paints them. Lisa learned to make pottery from her mother, Inez Ortiz, and she is also a niece of Virgil Ortiz, Janice Ortiz, and a granddaughter of Seferina Ortiz. The materials are all traditional as the red and cream are both native clays while the black is wild spinach (a plant). Traditional forms and designs have become modernistic interpretations of cultural imagery. Lisa and Harlan have won numerous major "Best of Pottery" awards for their pottery at the Heard Indian Fair, Autry Museum Indian Fair, and Santa Fe Indian Market. They are also featured in books such as "Talking with the Clay," and their work can be found in museums nationwide. They are definitely among the leading younger potters working today!
