Dominique Toya #23012

NEW! A new shape for Dominique. We have been talking about forms and shapes, and I asked for a “cylinder” and here it is. It is stunning. Hand coiled, fired outdoors, using natural pigments and slips – it really worked. The four curved ribs flow all the way from the very top of the jar, diagonally down to the very bottom. The mica ribs gleam and sparkle, especially set against the deep red polished areas. The rim is exceptionally smooth. It is exciting to see potters’ experiment and try to expand their creativity. I am thrilled with this new piece.

4 ¾” high by 3 ¾” wide

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.
