For this folio, the artist employed the technological marvels of modern science and industry with the infinite care required in the handling of paper and inks to produce a lasting tribute to the remarkable achievements of our southwest Indian potters.  He has captured the earthy textures of clay, slip, and pigments of vessels fashioned by the traditional methods handed down through countless generations. He has chosen examples that exhibit bold and powerful simplicity and others that show the most joyous exuberance of rhythm and color.

Pueblo Indian Pottery is a beautiful book consisting of 33 full-color images of extraordinary historic and contemporary pottery vessels, each with a narrative description by Harlow.  In addition, this special edition includes an original hand executed serigraph by Jack Silverman.
