A new coloring book featuring 30 drawings of beautiful Pueblo
pottery designs for you to complete Pueblo pottery is renowned for
its extraordinary beauty and craftsmanship. Pueblo is a Spanish
wording meaning 'town' or 'village'. When the Spanish arrived in
1540 in what is now known as the American Southwest, they referred
to the Indigenous communities and their settlements as Pueblos. The
Pueblos are among the oldest settlements in North America, and
their pottery-making tradition is as old as the ancient Pueblos
themselves. Pottery is used throughout the life of a Pueblo person,
and various forms are made for cooking, gathering water, food
storage, and ceremonial use. The Coloring Book of Pueblo Pottery
features more than 30 drawings for you to complete, whether by
reproducing the traditional palettes or by finding inspiration in
the swirling or geometric patterns and stylized motifs for a unique
design of your own. Made predominantly by women, the pots are
created from natural clay using a coil method; they are
hand-painted and then fired outdoors. Designs vary from one Pueblo
to another, but symbols and motifs relating to the natural world -
birds, deer, plants, and water - are common. Today, such pottery is
highly collectible and is found in museums and private collections
around the world. This delightful coloring book allows you to
create your very own masterpieces of this celebrated and cherished
art form.
