Had a wonderful discussion with the contemporary pueblo potter Russell Sanchez of San Ildefonso pueblo. I've known Russell Sanchez for at least 30 years and we had a nice talk about what it means to be a potter and how pottery became his chosen field, including his tutelage from the famed pueblo potters Rose Gonzales and Tony and Anita Da who influenced him. It was interesting to get the sense of what it takes to be a Pueblo potter as a profession and how he's approached being one of the best in the field. If you love Pueblo Pottery, Russell Sanchez is one of the best, and this a podcast you can't afford to miss.
