Lonnie Vigil hand builds his pots using coils of mica clay, then fires them outdoors to create a brown, smoky finish. The flecks of mica in the clay sparkle against this dark, burnished surface, evoking tiny stars or jewels.
Luce Object Quote"I don't do my work for recognition. I do it because I love it. I feel blessed to be able to do this work; I believe this blessing comes from my genealogy, from centuries and centuries of living in this sacred land." Lonnie Vigil, Art New Mexico, 1999
