Artist Resume:

Peter B. Jones is a renowned potter and sculptor who resides on the Cattaraugus Territory of the Seneca Nation of Indians. He studied under Hopi artist Otellie Loloma while attending the Institute of American Indian Art in New Mexico. His pottery, which is derived from traditional Iroquois pit firing, hand-built coiling and slab construction, is admired and collected by community members, Native American art collectors, and museums across the country and internationally. Reminiscent of early Iroquois pottery, Jones’ art directly reflects the issues that have impacted the Haudenosaunee. His works are in traditional style, pit fired Iroquois pottery.

Jones operates a pottery workshop and studio on the Cattaraugus Territory, which is open by chance or appointment. Studio address: 234 Buffalo Street, Gowanda, NY 14070. Jones is also available to conduct pottery workshops and classes for schools, community groups and other organizations.
