At the moment everything has stopped. Due to coronavirus we are all closed and practicing social distancing. Before the shutdown, business was beginning to pick up after what seemed like a long winter. I believe once we are allowed to open back up, it may not be business as usual. However, we will come out just fine on the other side; having the website has helped a bunch. It took us a while to get it going and now that it has, we have had several sales online.
Jason Ebelacker (Santa Clara), traditionally fired Native clay pot
We have continued to do very well with Jason Ebelacker (Santa Clara). His great grandmother Margaret Tafoya always told him to stick with traditional Santa Clara styles—people always like traditional. We have also done very well with pieces from the Brenda and John Blom Collection. John is the co-author of Southwestern Pottery: Anasazi to Zuni, and people like the pieces that are featured in the book. Pieces [between] $500 and $1,000 have sold very well.

Jordyn Atencio (Ohkay Owingeh), traditionally fired Native clay pot
An artist that has done very well for us and is fairly new is Jordyn Atencio (Ohkay Owingeh). Jordyn is bringing back the old style from the Pueblo and has an amazing polish and great shapes. She currently attends New Mexico State University full time.
