Santo Domingo Pueblo (now also known as Kewa Pueblo), located along the Rio Grande in New Mexico, is renowned for its traditional hand-coiled pottery featuring distinctive bold geometric designs. Potters use local buff-colored clay, often coated with a cream slip, and apply black (from boiled plants like Rocky Mountain bee plant/guaco) and red slips or paints with yucca brushes. Pieces are traditionally fired outdoors using materials like cottonwood bark. Common forms include jars (ollas), bowls, dough bowls, canteens, and storage vessels.
