When it comes to Zuni pottery, the names of Anderson and Avelia Peynetsa come to mind of those in the know. They have been making their beautiful Zuni pottery since the 1980s. They live at Zuni Pueblo, immersed in the Zuni culture and paint with natural slips and paints made with wildcrafted plants. When asked who the other potters are that have inspired them, the first person that comes up is their son Anderson Jamie (who goes by Jamie). His style is a mix of traditional symbolism with these new, dynamic, op-art designs. Avelia and Jamie often work together, often collaborating on pieces. Jamie used to do small pieces, until he started painting Avelia's large ones. Jamie, born in 1997, has already developed so much of his artistic talent. In 2008, he won 1st prize at Indian Market with his first pot. He also draws, paints, and makes Kachinas. Anderson Peynetsa (b.1964) was one of the star students who learned pottery making from Jennie Laate, the high school arts teacher at Zuni. He entered her class in 8th grade, progressing through the beginning, intermediate and advanced courses. Today, Anderson is among the best contemporary Zuni pottery painters. He is noted for his "precise, flowing lines." He also is an excellent sculptor, applying relief figures as noted onto some of his pottery. He signs his individual works as A. Peynetsa. He is an active ca. 1980s to the present: traditional black-on-redware, polychrome seed pots, jars, ollas, bowls, canteens, duck effigy pots.

Reference: Southern Pueblo Pottery: 2,000 Artist Biographies by Gregory Schaaf. Bischoff's Gallery-Anderson’s pots are built the way Zuni potters before him have made their pots – from hand-rolled, thin coils of clay. The shapes of his pieces are pleasing to the eye and are impeccably gracious in aesthetic and even in shape. Anderson gets his design ideas for his works from old Zuni pottery and interprets these early images to create his contemporary designs. His line art and images are precise and create elegant flowing lines that are very well balanced. His painting has matured into a fluid, rhythmic style. Like most pueblo potters, he makes his paints from earth and plant pigments. He paints with black and reddish-brown pigments on either pure white or dark, earthy red highly polished backgrounds. Working as a team, Anderson and his wife Avelia have developed a rhythm to their work and a cohesive elegant style. Avelia sands and polishes the pottery. Anderson says that she has the touch for that – he breaks the pots when he tries to polish. Pots are made in the morning and painted at night. Small pots dry in one afternoon; large ollas dry for several days. He applies his white slip evenly and rather liberally – the color of clay body of the pot does not show through. He also has a very steady hand with the paintbrush and is very good at loading his brushes to deliver an even application of pigment over the surface of the pot (no thin spots in the color).The Peynetsa family is well known in collector circles. Anderson’s sister Agnes makes smaller pieces, most of which are adorned with lizards and frogs, animal symbols that are very esteemed by the Zuni. Even though Avelia is more than happy to let the spotlight shine on her husband, she, too, makes pots.Anderson and Avelia learned their craft at Zuni High School from Jennie Laate (an accomplished Acoma potter who taught at Zuni), and he has been a potter ever since. Working as potters is how this family makes their living – this is not a part-time occupation. Anderson may be close to being middle-aged and is in the prime of his craft. We look forward to watching his work change in the years to come as he grows as an artist.Anderson’s hands – they so clearly look like the hands of someone who works with a wet medium. Clay is very drying as it sucks the oils from the surface of skin. And, preparing clay from rock sherds is a laborious, hands-on job. He, like other Zuni potters and his ancestors, dig their own clay on the pueblo lands in a sacred place where only the potters are allowed to go.After digging the clay from the earth, the clay is hauled to their home and soaked in water for 2-3 days to soften. Sometimes small, broken pieces of pottery sherds are added to the clay for suppleness if needed. Excess water is drained away, and the clay in put in pillow cases outside to rest….then the real work begins.The Zuni pueblo is located far in the western edge of New Mexico about 2 hours driving distance from Albuquerque. Anderson started to make pottery in the eighth grade of school and his pottery has a very distinctive and beautiful style. Anderson has won numerous awards for his works and has been invited to the Heard Museum (Phoenix, Arizona) many times and participates in the Indian Market is a once a year juried show of Native American art held in the streets of downtown Santa Fe on the 3rd weekend of August and produced by SWAIA. (Southwest Association for Indian Arts: for over 80+ years this is the largest and most prestigious intertribal fine art market in the world.) Eyes Of The Pot - Anderson Peynetsa is a potter from Zuni Pueblo. He specializes in thin-walled pots with traditional Zuni designs and in duck pots with contemporary and traditional designs. His son, Anderson Jamie Peynetsa, is following in his footsteps and was earning awards for his excellent pottery as a teenager. Anderson is the brother of Priscilla Peynetsa and Agnes Peynetsa. Anderson says he is grateful to his teacher, Jennie Laate, as she introduced him to the traditional art of pottery making. Following that introduction, he became interested in the older Zuni designs and shapes and is surprised now that he has become such a name in the world of Pueblo pottery and has helped to advance the modern Zuni pottery tradition as much as he has. He's also done an incredible job in passing his knowledge on to others.PLEASE read the information below and ask any questions prior to bidding.___________________________ ShippingWe are always happy to combine shipping when we can do it in a safe and practical manner that keeps your purchases from being damaged.
