Hopi pottery is a traditional craft of the Hopi people, an Indigenous group from the southwestern United States. Known for its intricate designs and vibrant colors, Hopi pottery is often made from natural clay and painted with mineral-based pigments. The pottery is typically hand-coiled, a technique that has been passed down through generations.
Hopi artisans create various forms of pottery, including bowls, jars, and figurines. Many pieces feature symbolic designs that reflect Hopi culture and beliefs, such as animals, plants, and geometric patterns. This pottery not only serves functional purposes but also acts as a medium for storytelling and cultural expression.
