Lisa Holt and Harlan Reano make an amazing team, working to create innovative pottery using traditional techniques.  Lisa makes the pottery and it is painted by Harlan.  This jar has a tightly painted design around the neck with wild spinach plant patterns and flowering motifs.The sides have a similar design but each section is divided by a tendril or flame extension from the jar.  Harlan said that they had tried it before with two bands extruding out from the sides of the piece but the four were much more difficult.  The result, however, is a very 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 on the bottom.
