Artists create their own original designs and sign each piece. The pottery is glazed by hand and fired in modern kilns, resulting in a line of high-quality pottery that is one of the few truly Native American products available. Background: A nomatic tribe until the 1800s, the Utes now inhabit the valley formed by Sleeping Ute Mountain on the west + the cliffs of Mesa Verde National Park to the east, in Colorado. their unique paintings contain elements of the geometric designs of the Anasazi. However, Ute artists have, over many years, adapted these designs and included their own representations of their land.
