Andrea Fisher Fine Pottery

Comments

Art isn’t a science. Art is an art, and that’s one reason why Andrea Fisher Fine Pottery allots a whopping five hours to their livestreamed pottery demonstrations. The 26 potters who took part in Fisher’s “Live from Santa Fe” 2020 August Virtual Market used the time to speak directly with viewers, discuss their processes, and start at least one accidental fire. The final streaming session is at 11 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 29, with potter Marilyn Ray (Acoma Pueblo).

Thank you so much for excellent wrapping and packaging of the items I ordered. They arrived in mint condition and are exceptionally beautifully hand crafted. Each one is exquisite. It was like unwrapping Christmas morning gifts! Everything I ordered is my favorite!

– It's day 2 of our 10 days of New Mexico series where we feature locations around our state that we LOVE to visit on our bicycle tours. It may still be good to stay home, but we look forward to the time we can see you again. 🚲🌞

Today we are featuring **THE SANTA FE PLAZA**
A visit to Santa Fe’s Plaza is a living view of New Mexico’s rich history and culture and is truly the perfect way to start our bicycle tours of .

On this site over 400 years of Spanish history (and more recently, Mexican and American cultures) intersect with 1,000+ years of Native American heritage, and are made tangible in everything from touching the 12-foot-thick adobe walls of the original Spanish capital building (The Palace of the Governors / @ [45899978798:274:New Mexico History Museum]), to meeting Pueblo artisans under the Portal, to small details like bullet marks in the central Obelisk made by outlaws in the late 19th century.

The Plaza is the ever-changing “heart” of Santa Fe, and our favorite thing about taking guests (and locals) here is that it helps us bring the amazing past, present, and future narratives of New Mexico to life.

Some of our favorite places to visit around the Santa Fe Plaza are: Chili Line Brewing Co., IAIA Museum of Contemporary Native Arts, Hervé Wine Bar, Il Piatto Italian Farmhouse Kitchen Santa Fe, Andrea Fisher Fine Pottery, Kakawa Chocolate House, La Boca Santa Fe, Georgia O'Keeffe Museum, Iconik Coffee Roasters, La Fonda on the Plaza, POP Gallery-Santa Fe,

Did you know: Santa Fe was founded as a presidio (i.e. a wooden fort) in the middle of Spain’s “new” territories in 1610, and the city’s full name is La Villa Real de la Santa Fe de San Francisco de Asís (“The Royal Town of the Holy Faith of Saint Francis of Assisi”).

ALSO: The historic La Fonda on the Plaza Hotel (Our gracious partners and launch point for our Santa Fe Tours) is the oldest hotel site in the United States.

This was where weary travelers up the Camino Real Adentro (and later along the famous Santa Fe Trail) would find a moment of respite after traveling hundreds (or thousands) of miles across the surrounding deserts, mountains, and grasslands.

The structure has been rebuilt and renovated multiple times since 1610 and is today one of the most spectacular examples of Pueblo Revival Architecture in the world.

Today, we get our virtual bouquet from Santa Clara potters, Debra and Preston Duwyenie. The flowers, sun, and hummingbirds are etched into the plate using a technique called sgraffito. Image courtesy Andrea Fisher Fine Pottery.

Sharing a photo of my beautiful Sandia Pueblo pot hand built by the late John Montoya. Enjoy.
