Southwestern Indian Pottery
Thursday, September 19
7:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers
The pottery of the American Indians of the Southwest is a major art form and a 2,000-year puzzle. The puzzle is how an art can be hidebound in ancient tradition and at the same time vital enough to offer new surprises every day. Join Allan Hayes for a fascinating photographic journey through the pottery of the Acoma, Hopi, Zuni, and other tribes, followed by lots of time for questions. Allan Hayes is the author of Southwestern Pottery, Anasazi to Zuni, now in a second edition, and Collections of Southwestern Pottery.
