Corrine Chino is a full blooded Native American Indian from the pueblo of Acoma. She was born in the late 1950s. Corrine did not spark an interest in pottery making until she was 26 years old. Her mother, Edna Chino, encouraged and taught Corrine all the fundamentals of hand coiling pottery using traditional ancient methods. Edna also reinforced the importance of continuing the long lived family tradition of working with clay.

The polychrome pot ar right measures 9 inches tall by 8 inches wide. Your price $295 ~ Item #A419.

Corrine is a natural when it came to hand painting pottery. Her painting has always been exquisite using fineline and starburst graphics. She generally works with slip pots or greenware as her canvas. Greenware is made by using a commercially produced liquid clay that is poured into molds. The clay is not hand harvested nor are the pots hand coiled. If her pots were hand coiled they would be priced two to three times higher.

Corrine was quoted as saying, “I just love to paint, it brings balance to my life.” Corrine signs her pottery “CHINO“. The hand painted polychrome pot at left is 9.5 inches tall by 9 inches wide. Your price $295 ~ Item #A420

Sandra states in her biography: "The way I learned was watching my grandmother (Lita L. Garcia) making her pottery. So I thought I would try. Pottery making was handed down from generation to generation. When I work with my pottery clay, it is something special to me. I can create new shapes of pottery and I imagine what designs I will use. It brings great pride to me and my family to see my artwork in galleries and in people's homes."        "Southern Pueblo Pottery: 2000 Artist Biographies" by Gregory Schaaf
