Jamie used to do small pieces, until he startedpainting Avelia's large ones. Jamie, born in 1997, has already developed somuch of his artistic talent.

Bischoff's Gallery-

Anderson’s pots are builtthe way Zuni potters before him have made their pots – from hand-rolled, thincoils of clay. The shapes of his pieces are pleasing to the eye and areimpeccably gracious in aesthetic and even in shape. Anderson gets his designideas for his works from old Zuni pottery and interprets these early images tocreate his contemporary designs. Hisline art and images are precise and create elegant flowing lines that are verywell balanced. His painting has maturedinto a fluid, rhythmic style. Like most pueblo potters, he makes his paintsfrom earth and plant pigments. He paints with black and reddish-brown pigmentson either pure white or dark, earthy red highly polished backgrounds.

Working as a team, Andersonand his wife Avelia have developed a rhythm to their work and a cohesiveelegant style. Avelia sands and polishesthe pottery. Anderson says that she hasthe touch for that – he breaks the pots when he tries to polish. Pots are madein the morning and painted at night. Small pots dry in one afternoon; largeollas dry for several days. He applies his white slip evenly and ratherliberally – the color of clay body of the pot does not show through. He alsohas a very steady hand with the paintbrush and is very good at loading hisbrushes to deliver an even application of pigment over the surface of the pot(no thin spots in the color).

The Peynetsa family is wellknown in collector circles. Anderson’s sister Agnes makes smaller pieces, mostof which are adorned with lizards and frogs, animal symbols that are veryesteemed by the Zuni. Even though Avelia is more than happy to let thespotlight shine on her husband, she, too, makes pots.

Anderson and Avelia learnedtheir craft at Zuni High School from Jennie Laate (an accomplished Acoma potterwho taught at Zuni), and he has been a potter ever since. Working as potters ishow 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 hiscraft. We look forward to watching hiswork change in the years to come as he grows as an artist.

Anderson’s hands – they soclearly look like the hands of someone who works with a wet medium. Clay isvery drying as it sucks the oils from the surface of skin. And, preparing clayfrom rock sherds is a laborious, hands-on job. He, like other Zuni potters andhis ancestors, dig their own clay on the pueblo lands in a sacred place whereonly the potters are allowed to go.

After digging the clay fromthe earth, the clay is hauled to their home and soaked in water for 2-3 days tosoften. Sometimes small, broken pieces of pottery sherds are added to the clay forsuppleness if needed. Excess water is drained away, and the clay in put inpillow cases outside to rest….then the real work begins.

The Zuni pueblo is locatedfar in the western edge of New Mexico about 2 hours driving distance fromAlbuquerque.

Anderson started to makepottery in the eighth grade of school and his pottery has a very distinctiveand beautiful style. Anderson has wonnumerous 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 yearjuried show of Native American art held in the streets of downtown Santa Fe onthe 3rd weekend of August and produced by SWAIA. (Southwest Association forIndian Arts: for over 80+ years this is the largest and most prestigiousintertribal fine art market in the world.)

Eyes Of The Pot -

Anderson Peynetsa is apotter from Zuni Pueblo. He specializes in thin-walled pots with traditionalZuni designs and in duck pots with contemporary and traditional designs. His son,Anderson Jamie Peynetsa, is following in his footsteps and was earning awardsfor his excellent pottery as a teenager. Anderson is the brother of PriscillaPeynetsa and Agnes Peynetsa.

Anderson says he is gratefulto his teacher, Jennie Laate, as she introduced him to the traditional art ofpottery making. Following that introduction, he became interested in the olderZuni designs and shapes and is surprised now that he has become such a name inthe world of Pueblo pottery and has helped to advance the modern Zuni potterytradition as much as he has. He's also done an incredible job in passing hisknowledge on to others.
