Elegance! Absolute elegance. This beauty is a hand coiled and traditionally fired “flying saucer” bowl by Dominique. She continues to create beautiful pottery usually displaying creative ways to use carved ribs on her pieces. All of her work is traditionally fired outside, and she uses all natural materials. Recently, she has been working on a shape that is relatively flat – incorporating her carved ribs. She has also been working on various carved openings to the pots. This red polished piece has the golden mica on the carved ribs. Lots of time involved in the polishing and the carving, but it was well worth the effort. It is elegant. It is polished to a high deep red sheen and has six carved curved mica ribs. They gleam with a touch of sparkle. Everything works!

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.
