Robert Tenorio is a Kewa Pueblo artist and potter whose work is grounded in tradition, function, and continuity. He carries forward designs and techniques that connect daily life with cultural knowledge and ceremonial practice.

His work reflects as something meant to be lived with and used. By applying traditional designs to functional forms, Robert creates pieces that honour the past while remaining present and relevant in contemporary life.

“In my work as a potter, applying my designs to items that can be used in everyday life and for ceremony connects us to our past and to our future.”
