Thomas Tenorio #6101

$2,400.00

We have been waiting for many months for Thomas to create this beautiful large open dough bowl for us. Because of its size, several attempts did not make it through the traditional firing, but this one is perfect ! We are calling it “It’s all about the cotton” because Thomas is depicting imagery representing cotton plants, fibers, thorns, and wind bowling the plants. It is influenced by old traditional designs from the late 1800’s. Hand coiled, using all natural materials and techniques, it is a marvelous example of Thomas’s work.

Thomas Tenorio

Thomas Tenorio, was given the Indian name of “U-Nah-Thee-Wah” when he was born into the Pueblo of Santo Domingo in 1963. He is the grandson of Pete Aguilar and the son of Trinidad Aguilar and Anacita Tenorio. Thomas felt that the ancient traditional method of pottery making was dying within his Pueblo, so he was inspired to try to resurrect this long standing tradition.He creates traditional polychrome pots, often with a contemporary flare with designs. Working in clay since 1972, he is a self taught potter.
