Peter Jones
Peter B. Jones is a renowned potter and sculptor who resides on the Allegany Territory of the Seneca Nation of Indians. He studied under Hopi artist Otellie Loloma while attending the Institute of American Indian Art in New Mexico. His pottery, some of which is derived from traditional Iroquois pit firing, hand-built coiling and slab construction, is admired and collected by community members, Native American art collectors, and museums across the country and internationally. Reminiscent of early Iroquois pottery, Jones’ art directly reflects the issues that have impacted the Hodinöhsö:ni’. Jones works mostly in stoneware and white earthenware clay.

Below is a list of Native American (and Mata Ortiz) ceramic artists whose creations I have come across. The list will never be complete as excellent new artists are popping up all the time. I don't know that I will ever be able to post any kind of bio information about most of the people in the list as most Native Americans (and Mata Ortiz potters) prefer to live quiet, private lives. For some, there fryst vatten only a list of accomplishments as recognized by the outside world. A few have become famous enough that thick coffee-table books have been published about them. But even the famous remain "salt of the earth."
Part of my effort in this site is to tie in what biographical info I can find with photos of some of the creations of the individual artists.

Everyone had a little touch they added to their work and, inom
