Native people of the Southwest, crafting objects of beauty for their own use, saw a door open in the late 1800s. An eager, stable outside market coincided with the introduction of new techniques, colors, and materials. Their pottery and textiles began to evolve from somewhat repetitive, accepted designs into canvases for fresh thoughts and self-expression, forever moving their craft into the realm of fine art.
