Traditional Acoma pottery has been made in the Acoma Pueblo area of New Mexico for centuries. The pottery is easily recognized due to its thin walls and the intricate geometric designs painted on the exteriors. Eric Louis grew up in Acoma Pueblo learning how to make this type of pottery. And today, he adds modern techniques like horsehair and molds to make the traditional pottery something of his own.

The Book of Truth When things were at their very worst: 2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid - repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy. Scientists will say it was a global illusion. Beware - Jesus will never walk in flesh again. After WW3 - rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist - the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way. Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet - will seem to rise from the dead - will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one. One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist. Benedict XVI is the last true pope - will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent. "The time for the schism in the Church is almost here and you must get prepared now" "Arab uprising will spark global unrest - Italy will trigger fall out"

This person may be a Native American but you can see he has none of the pottery making skills he claims were handed down by his grandmother. Cameras were present when his grandmother was alive, where is the photo of her making pottery? Where is a sample of the actual pottery she made? Fake video, fake grandmother information.

They did an episode of the Great Pottery Throwdown (think Bake Off, but pottery) that included this technique as part of the main challenge. They had to make 3 different shaped pots decorated only by this technique of burning stuff onto the outside. One guy literally cut off chunks of his hair (which had grown out over the lockdown) for another contestant (maybe himself too) to burn onto the pots at the last minute. And was so casual about it.

There are Real Native American Potters in this country who make their wares by hand. This guy may be Native American but he is not a Potter. He is unable to create ceramic pottery with his HANDS. Most of the story told in this video is not true. There are no ancient NA pottery with burnt hair designs. Horsehair on ceramics has been used for the last 10 years. Etching is a printmaking process involving chemicals. It is impossible to use natural found clay that will fire white. Support the real artists who struggle to make their Art. Real Native American Potters would NEVER consider making their wares with a FACTORY MOLD.

It still amazes me that Native American tribes didn’t have functional horses in the “modern” sense until the Spanish arrived in North America in the 1500’s. The tribes that interacted and traded for horses subsequently became the dominate tribes due to the overwhelming military dominance that horses could provide. You always think of Native Americans having horses, but relatively, they are a newer species to North America. Also, yes there was an ancient ancestor of the horse that went extinct in North America called Eohippus. However, it was not really also useful, “It was a small animal, standing only 13 inches and had an arched back similar to some deer. Eohippus also had functioning toes, four on their front feet and three on their hind feet.” Horses went extinct on the continent of North American a couple of times. First about 25,000 years ago and most recently 11,000 years ago, but before they went extinct in North America they migrated to Asia. It is unclear precisely what caused the extinction of horses in North America, but there are three viable theories: human overkill, climate change, and infectious disease.

"Scientists have found the oldest evidence of modern-day North American horses in Idaho. The remains found belong to Equus simplicidens and are roughly 3.5 million years old. Paleontologists believe that Dinohippus, or terrible horse, is the ancestor of Equus. While the animal had a fearsome name, it only weighed about 750 pounds and reached a height of 5 feet. One of the Dinohippus’ characteristics that link it almost directly to Equus is its ability to stand for extended periods. Dinohippus was a larger animal and fossil evidence was found across North America, including Canada and Florida. This animal also developed one hoof." A bit taller than 13"

@@xeroart3852 don't know about the pot-sculpting part, but using the horsehair and creating the designs on top is definitely a honed skill. Have you ever tried freehanding a design without an eraser? It's very difficult to make beautiful. Most people also wouldn't be able to create the carbonized shades in the first place.

Not a professional, a professional potter makes their wares by hand, not with a Factory mold. A Professional pottery can also decorate their wares. Dropping horsehair on a pot has no artistic skill. Doubt if these come with the printed certification for authentic Native American Pottery

American Indians are a beautiful people. They are very creative making their pieces works of art. He is using the mould as he needs the fine clay so when he polishes the pieces he gets such a fine surface. Artists usually evolve in their art. He uses an electric kiln, possibly to make his life a little easier. Nothing wrong with that. To sell on Etse one needs to be of a high standard and his work is. Life is too short to be so negative. Be happy and kind to others. Treat others how you would like to be treated. Be Kind, be kind, be kind, be kind. B.J. New Zealand

I’m not Native American but my family has prominent Incan roots and they never taught me anything about it. So being that they abandoned their roots I always feel called to the culture here in North America and I’m just in awe of everything natives do. This is so beautiful and could only wish to be part of such a family tradition. 🙏🏼☁️🤍

I wish I knew the name of his website but there was a man at the powwow here in onigum selling pottery, dreamcatchers, drums, handmade weapons, painted feathers, statues, cradle boards and beadwork, all handmade by a group of Navajo women out in Montana, he showed me videos of the horsehair pottery being made and it was amazing to watch those artists at work, I bought a clay jewelry box and a couple painted feathers from him. The best part about his artwork was that he wasn't selling it to fill his pockets with greed, he was travelling to powwows selling art so that he could support his family and the families of the artists that made his wares. I wish I knew the name of his online store because I'd love for people to see some of the beautiful artwork he had for sale, I can't describe how amazing the painting on all of the pottery and the drums looked, if I ever run into him at the powwow again next year I'll be sure to edit the name of his online store somewhere so people can buy some of this amazing artwork and support his cause.
