Native American Pottery: Earth, Fire, and Spirit (11/20)

Native American pottery, especially among the Pueblo peoples, is a highly revered craft. Made from locally sourced clay and often decorated with symbolic designs, these pots were originally created for practical use but have evolved into forms of cultural expression. Each design tells a story—about the land, the seasons, and the spirits. The process of making pottery is deeply spiritual, with many potters invoking blessings for the clay and the fire during the creation process.
