Jemez pottery is traditionally hand-coiled from local clay, often using natural slips and pigments for polychrome (multi-color) designs. Red clay body with black, white, and sometimes other earth-tone painted designs (geometric, feathers, corn, butterflies, etc.). Techniques like stone polishing (for a shiny finish), matte areas, incising (etching), or sgraffito. Small to miniature sizes are common for many signed pieces. Outdoor pit-firing for a distinctive look.
