Potters Demonstration: Tribute to the Ancestors

Jerry Dunbar’s family is from Ysleta Del Sur Pueblo, located southeast of El Paso, Texas. Established in 1682 after the Pueblo Revolt of 1680, its people originally came from Isleta Pueblo, south of Albuquerque. Dunbar speaks to his pieces and asks them to guide him as he works — each work taking the shape and direction the clay wants. He continues to strive and increase his knowledge and skill as a Pueblo potter, following in the footsteps of his Ancestors.
