 Gary
Gutierrez -Santa Clara Potter
Gary is the son
of Dorothy and Paul Gutierrez who are well known for their mudheads,
animals and nativity sets. Gary also makes figuritive pottery but
in a larger scale. He does very fine human figures that are well
formed and beautifully polished. His figures always have difficult
and complex surfaces to polish so Gary uses pencil-shaped stalagtites
as polishing stones. The finish he achieves using these stones is
truly remarkable. Gary used to pot part-time only (at one time playing
in a Los Angeles rock band and returning to Santa Clara to fire)
but due to the increased demand for his work he moved to Santa Fe
and now pots full-time. He also makes wonderful nativity sets.
