The pottery that she makes comes from clay that she and her family gather in the mountains of their reservation. She also uses the shards from those mountains for temper and incorporates the designs found on them into her work. Her designs and patterns are hand painted with a yucca brush using Native paints.\n\nImage credit: Polychrome Jar, 2024, LaDonna Victoriano, Pueblo of Acoma\nAbout Sydney Pursel\nSydney Pursel is Curator for Public Practice at the Spencer Museum of Art and serves on the Advisory Group for Native Arts in Miniature.\n\nSchedule\n5:30PM—Doors open to view Native Arts in Miniature exhibition.\n6-7PM—Meet the Maker: LaDonna Victoriano\n7:30PM—Museum closes\n\nThis project is supported in part by the City of Kansas City, Missouri Neighborhood Tourist Development Fund;  ( https://www.kcmo.gov/city-hall/departments/neighborhood-services/neighborhood-tourist-development-fund-ntdf )the Henry Luce Foundation; the Missouri Arts Council ( https://missouriartscouncil.org/ ), a state agency; Shook, Hardy & Bacon;  ( https://www.shb.com/ )Tepa Companies;  ( https://tepa.com/ )Travois;  ( https://travois.com/ )and a generous anonymous donor.\n\n\n\n\n\n
