Zuni Pottery

The revival of Zuni Pueblo pottery in the 20th century was largely due to the efforts of two women who married into the Pueblo: Hopi/Tewa Daisy Hooee (granddaughter of the incomparable Nampeyo) and Jennie Laate from Acoma Pueblo.

Zuni Pueblo is in western New Mexico, about 140 miles west of Albuquerque.
