Tony learned the fundamentals of pottery from his grandmother at age 7, starting a more than 30-year journey to revive the fading art of olla making through his experimentation with local clays and indigenous hand-building techniques.
Tony shares his knowledge to ensure that Native American pottery making is never lost. Tony’s pottery is in art galleries, museums, and personal collections around the country and he has taught at many venues including the Agua Caliente Band of the Desert Cahuilla of Palm Springs and the Yuman tribes of the Colorado River, AZ
