Hi Bernie,

Their fall schedule isn't out yet, but you might call Santa Fe Clay at
505-984-1122 to see if anything for that timeslot has gelled. They have
something every week during summer.

I will be driving from Albuquerque through Santa Fe in mid September,
heading for Mesa Verde. Are there any Clayarters in this area, who can help
me with advice on Galleries, Potters, Pueblos, Anazasi Pottery, etc?

I recommend that you drive on the Turquoise Trail from Albequerque to SantaFe
and be sure that you stop at Madrid. It is a tiny town of artists and
craftspeople, that is so charming, you could spend several hours going in and
out of each studio/gallery and talking to all the artists. It has a charm
not found in many other places, perhaps it is the scnenery, the New Mexico
sky that seems to go on forever.....and, of course the suggestions of
potteries in Santa Fe is equally abundant!
I think you will find, that beyond the native american influence, is the
color of the landscape, which radiates in all southwest art.
savor and enjoy!

Greetings Hanne

Once your in Albuquerque or Santa Fe you can pick up a free copy of "The
Collectors Guide" at almost any gallery or information center. If your going to
take the route to Taos it will be worth your while. Here there are zillions of
galleries and about half have some Native American pottery. My favorite for
Native American Art is Tony Rainer's Gallery. It's on the road to the Taos
Pueblo about 2 miles north of town. Tony is a Native and a survivor of the
Bataan March in the Philippines. The display is terrible but this gallery is
packed and stacked with remarkable museum quality work. You might have to ask a
local where it is (Tony doesn't advertise) and don't expect to be impressed
with the converted house. It's what's inside that counts.

Take the old highway that is east of the Interstate. There are all sorts of
artist/artisans along the way. And just north of Santa Fe is a foundry that
gives tours a couple of days a week. Look that one up too.

Hi Bobbi

Lots of useful suggestions have already appeared, and reading them
makes we want to pack my bags and GO... It's 4 years since I was in
Santa Fe and Albuquerque, but I hope to go back for another visit
some time. I went in mid-winter, trudged around in freezing ice and
snow, had limited time and very limited money, but loved it.

Anyway, for your advance homework, have a look at:

http://www.ci.santa-fe.nm.us/sfpl/nmlink.html

which is helpful, more info than anyone could possibly want! The
museum with the fabulous pots is the Museum of Indian Arts and
Culture, a little way out of the town. I spent hours in there, the
pots are so wonderful. It's the other side of a little square from
the Folk Museum.

Also, the Clayart archives are worth a look, as there has been lots
of stuff over the years on this part of the world.

When you get there - first thing, pick up a gallery guide, which
is available in most, I suppose all, of the galleries. It's
published by Wingspread (I think ... it's at home and I'm at work,
but it's something like that, nice fat little glossy book, can't miss
it). It's mostly an arts and crafts guide, but also has other info,
places to eat, things like that. Canyon Road is great to wander
along, just art galleries from end to end. You soon get a feel for
what will be touristy and what won't, although I found it was worth
looking in on anything and everything. Some great surprises that
way. Followed by total exhaustion, but what the heck.

And I agree with Joyce's comments about Mimbres pottery. Some
wonderful examples are to be seen in the Maxwell Museum which is part
of the Uni of NM, in Albuquerque. A few years ago I chanced upon a
picture of one of the pots in a library book, and was instantly in
love, that started my quest for learning more about the pots, the
people, and the pueblos.

At some point you will need to sit down and replenish. I had a
slightly odd but very enjoyable meal in the Plaza Cafe (I think
that's what it was called) in Santa Fe, which has its own sort of
time and space warp - fifties atmosphere, the owners are part Greek,
so huge mural of a New Mexico/Santorini scene, and fabulous NM food
with Kalamta olives, hummous, and so on, which made a
different, but wonderful combination!

You'll love it. I think I need to go and find a travel agent
now....!

Hello claybuds,

Is there anyone on list living and working in Santa Fe, either at Santa
Fe Clay or in your own studio? I'll be out there from the 5th to the
12th and would love to go by Santa Fe Clay and see what goes on there.
Also would welcome seeing some local studios, meeting folks and hearing
about clay life there... Thanks for any info/ leads...

I just got back from a trip with my school to Santa Fe.
Santa Fe Clay is great. Just stop by, have a look around. I didn't know
anybody, snooped around, no one said a word.
There are a few places I will recomend.
First is a gallery called "Touching Stone". 539 Old Santa Fe Trail.
Kinda off the beaten path, not in the gallery district but it is
walking distance. It's all Japanese pots. EXTREMELY NICE stuff.
There is a shop on Guadalupe (323 South Guadalupe) called Santa Fe
Pottery. 'Bout 20 artists, everything from Raku to Woodfired.
Down Guadalupe is Heidi Loewen Porceline. She is at the corner of
Guadalupe and Johnson (the O'Keefe is on Johnson). Got some very nice
pots and was super nice when we just stopped by. Big big big B-Mix
platters, some of which had Oil Painting on them. No joke.
Up Johnson is Rainbow Gate and Flat Earth Tile. Earthenware stuff.
Mostly slip cast, SUPER bright glazes.
On canyon there is a really nice gallery called Robert Nichols (It's
like 300 something Canyon Rd). Great stuff from all over in there.
There is all "The Hand Maiden" which is down near the plaza at the
corner of Water and Old Santa Fe Trail I believe. It is back in a
building but there is a sign out front. They have been selling pottery
since the 70's because my professor used to sell there.

That's pretty much all the pottery places we checked out while we were
down there.
One place I highly suggest is Site Santa Fe. It's not pottery per-se
but there is awesome modern art shows all the time. It's right up the
street from Santa Fe clay. It's the building with the big grid on the
front with rubber rats wired to it. They had an awesome "Grotesque"
show when I was there.

Hope that helps, let me know if you want any more info on any of these
places.

Hello, Nancy,

Lucky you, going to Santa Fe! I sometimes live north
of Taos. On my east to west journey, my first stop in
Santa Fe is always Santa Fe Clay.

Unfortunately, I'm too far away to use their terrific
studio space, but lots of visiting artists come there
to give classes, and often on a Wednesday night there
will be a discussion and slide show by the artist
giving the class that week. Anyone can attend and the
room is always full.

In addition, Santa Fe Clay has a quality gallery with
constantly changing, GREAT shows, not to be missed.
People there are friendly and very helpful.
It would be a good place to start your vacation.

Hope you have lots of fun,
Regards,
Lillian
