Category: Pottery | Posted by | Thu, Jul 14th 2016, 5:30pm
Delores Juanico is a daughter of Marie S. Juanico (1937 - ) who was her mentor. Marie learned pottery principals from her mother, Delores Sanchez, who lived to the age of 103. Young Delores carries on the tradition from her grandmother and mother of making the finest Acoma pottery. Her construction is traditional to Acoma pottery and the vessel walls are amazingly thin and consistent throughout. The design was painted to absolute perfection. Each line is thin and precise, and the application of the fill-in paint is consistent in texture.
