Honyumptewa, Kimberly Riley – Picuris Micaceous Jar

6.5"w x 5.75"h

$ 125.00

Kimberly Riley Honyumptewa is from Laguna/Picuris Pueblo and married to Aaron Honyumptewa who is Hopi/Picuris. She learned to make pottery from her mother-in-law in the traditional Picuris style and using native clay from the area. Each piece is coil built and traditionally fired.  Kimberly has a strong sense of form as the jar has a sharp shoulder and a elongated neck. The piece is traditionally fired so there are beautiful blushes across the surface. Will be exciting to see how her work evolves in creating more Picuris pottery!
