Harold Littlebird is from Laguna and Kewa Pueblos in New Mexico, and now resides in Florida. He has been making his award-winning pottery for over 56 years. Harold began his career in clay under the tutelage of Ralph A Pardington and graduated from the Institute of American Indian Arts in 1969. He developed his unique styles of contemporary hand building clay without the use of a potter’s wheel. His work is entirely hand-built using slab construction with added adaptations of traditional coil-building. His work veers from traditional Pueblo pottery in that it is stoneware, totally usable as tableware. Harold’s methods of decorating also differ from traditional pueblo pottery. The elaborate designs on most of his work are meticulously hand drawn created with underglaze pencils, then kiln fired in an oxidation process. Harold’s work is Nationally recognized in many private collections and numerous museums throughout the County, including the prestigious Smithsonian Museum in Washington D.C.
