Prudy Correa | Acoma Pueblo

Born of the Red Corn and Sky Clan, Prudy comes from several generations of pottery making at Acoma Pueblo. Prudy is an award-winning artist and specializes in making storytellers, both animal and human forms, and nativity scenes. She works in natural earth clays and paints, which for her brings back happy memories of gathering clay and paints.

I Am Clay Guest Curator & Panelist

Acoma Pottery from “Sky City” is famous for its incredibly thin walls, lightness, durability, and distinctive black-on-white designs with fine lines, geometric patterns, and symbolic motifs. Pots are made from local clay and natural pigments using hand-coiling and traditional firing techniques and are left unglazed. This centuries-old art form was transformed in the 20th century by Marie Zieu Chino and Lucy Lewis, now considered the matriarchs of Acoma Pottery.
