For more than two thousand years, potters have been shaping, decorating, and firing clay within the context of Southwestern cultural evolution. Today’s diverse and beautiful pottery traditions are built on a complex foundation that reflects both natural and cultural adaptations. Changing functional needs, resource potentials, and social and religious contexts have inspired technical innovations and aesthetic expressions in ceramics through the centuries. Modern peoples can appreciate Southwestern pottery as artistic expression, but the underlying tapestry of culture history is even more remarkable.
