Dominique Toya #062505

$4,500.00

This is a first for us – an incredible micaceous wedding vase from Dominique. By far the largest piece we have had from her, it is exceptional in every way. Wedding jars are not easy to coil – there has to be just the right proportions for it not to be top or bottom heavy, and the double spouts have to be well aligned. This one is so well executed. Dominique calls it her “24K wedding Vase” because it looks like it has been dipped in gold. It is stunning.

Dominique Toya

Jemez

Dominique has been making pottery since she was very young. She is one of the leading Jemez potters working today. Her main early teachers and influences were her grandmother Marie G. Romero and her mother Maxine Toya. She describes herself as – “I am a traditional potter with contemporary designs and techniques. By traditional I mean we gather our own clay and temper and we clean them and mix them and fire outdoors with cedar wood.” Dominique won Best of Division and Best of Classification at the 2009 Santa Fe Indian Market with a micaceous swirl seed jar. She uses local clays, with a micaceous additive.
