Jacqueline Shutiva, Acoma corrugated jar

Jackie specializes in hand coiled, traditional, contemporary, corrugated pottery similar to some of the pottery of the prehistoric Anasazi and Hohokam cultures. She primarily works with white-ware, too, marrying the new Acoma clays with the old forms and designs. She gathers her clumps of raw clay from within the Acoma Pueblo. Then she breaks down the clumps into a fine powder form and mixes with sand to temper the clay. Once the clay has been properly cleaned and mixed Jackie begins the hand coiling process by rolling the clay into snake like coils and building a vessel to a desired shape and size. Then, she hand-pinches her thumbnails into the clay to give it that corrugated look. She uses an octagonal carpenter's pencil that was inherited from her mother to make the corrugations in each coil of a pot. The result, in Acoma's pure white clay, is like festive frosting, but also very like the pots found in archeological digs - only cleaner and in one piece. Finally, she fires her pottery the traditional way, outdoors. On occasion Jackie also hand crafts clay corn symbols in her clay to denote her Clan origin. Jackie hand coils a wide variety of shapes and sizes of pottery.
