With handpainted pottery, the American Indian artist begins a search for the perfect canvas by visiting a supplier of pottery created from a seemingly infinite number of molds. Once the pot is carefully selected, the artist faces the unique and difficult challenge of painting on a surface that is rounded or angular, and must be precisely and steadily positioned.
The artist does not use a brush. Instead, a piece of yucca plant is selected, harvested, and tediously honed into the instrument used to apply the paint. The American Indian artist will skillfully complete the work. The artist, completely satisfied, will then proudly offer the work for your consideration.
