Sarracino, Myron – 10″ Tall Jar with Rainbows and Swirls
8"w x 10"h
$ 650.00
Myron Sarracino is one of the few Laguna potters working today. He learned to make pottery from Gladys Paquin and creates pieces that are thin-walled and tightly painted. This jar has a high shoulder and a short neck. There is a complex checkerboard design around the neck of the jar. Around the shoulder are the classic Tularosa swirls. Note all the thin lines in the swirls! Separating them are multi-color rainbow designs. The additional clays create a colorful addition to his detailed painting. Note on the rim that there is a painted “spirit line”, which is where the “spirit” of the painter is able to leave the piece and it is also a tribute to the potters who came before. It is seen on much older Acoma and Laguna pottery. The jar is signed on the bottom, “Myron Sarracino”.

Sarracino, Myron (b. 1967)
Myron Sarracino
Myron Sarracino is one of the few Laguna potters working today. He was inspired by the works of the tradition of hand coiling pottery by Verna Soloman, Thelma and Sandy Sarracino, and his friend and teacher, the famous Gladys Paquin. Paquin taught Myron the fundamentals of traditional pottery-making and creates pieces that are thin-walled and tightly painted. The imagery on much of his pottery is derived from pre-historic pottery designs. Myron has won numerous awards for his pottery at Gallup Ceremonials, New Mexico State Fair, and other art events. It is great to see a potter reviving ancient designs yet giving them a very modern appearance. Myron uses the traditional methods of Acoma pottery, hand coiling each pot, sanding and shaping the bowl, then painting with natural pigments and traditional designs. We are pleased to carry a selection of Myron Sarracino's work at both or Santa Fe and Scottsdale galleries.
