Cochiti Pueblo Pottery Storyteller Figurines

The storyteller figurine tradition started with one potter at Cochiti Pueblo in 1964. That potter, Helen Cordero, made the first image as a tribute to her grandfather who was known to be an accomplished storyteller of the pueblo. Little did she know that she was starting a new convention and innovation in pueblo pottery production. From that first storyteller figurine, many more have appeared. From that first potter to make one, many others have followed.

Since the very first storyteller figurine was created at Cochiti Pueblo, this exhibit is dedicated to showing figurines only from Cochiti Pueblo. There are over 100 storyteller and other pottery figurines made by more than 25 potters being exhibited and all are available for sale.

Posters are also available to support a great, local cause. 

This collection is accompanied by a limited edition poster commemorating the event. The 12” x 16” poster features over 50 Storytellers as well as a brief history of the figurines. It is available at a suggested donation of $5-20 each. Give what you can and 100% of your charitable donation will go The Food Depot, which provides food to children at risk of hunger - in Santa Fe and the surrounding areas in New Mexico.
