Stephen Trimble conveys the beauty and fine craftsmanship of Pueblo Indian pottery and shows how pottery making is closely connected to the Pueblos' beliefs, their ties to the land, their role in the modern economic world, and their feelings of identity. With over 75 photographs, Talking with the Clay illustrates all the major pottery types, from the glittering micaceous of Taos and Picuris to the red and gold polychromes of Hopi.

Review

Shifting back and forth from respect for tradition to the joy of innovation, the tale is held together by the common love of clay. -- The New York Times

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Stephen Trimble was born in Denver, his family's base for roaming the West with his geologist father. Trimble read passionately as a kid and started writing as a teenager, and he just kept writing. A liberal arts education led to work as a park ranger and museum press director. As writer, editor, and photographer, Trimble has published 25 award-winning books during 45 years of paying attention to the landscapes and peoples of the Desert West.

In 2019, Trimble was honored as one of Utah’s 15 most influential artists. In his profile, Calvin Jolley wrote: “Trimble’s output as an artist speaks to where he’s been; it touches what he’s seen; it conveys what he’s learned as a father, writer, son, photographer, activist, teacher, husband, and friend. The circles of his lifework broaden the circles of our lives by speaking to the messenger and interpreter in each of us.”

Trimble speaks and writes frequently as a conservation advocate and has taught writing at the University of Utah, where he received a Wallace Stegner Fellowship at the Tanner Humanities Center during the centennial of Stegner’s birth. The breadth of his awards mirrors the wide embrace of his work: The Sierra Club's Ansel Adams Award for photography and conservation; The National Cowboy Museum’s Western Heritage “Wrangler” Award; and a Doctor of Humane Letters from his alma mater, Colorado College. Trimble makes his home in Salt Lake City and in the redrock country of Torrey, Utah. For more about his work, see www.stephentrimble.net.

As a potter/ceramic artist this book was written from an artist's viewpoint about the creation of the art work. That is much appreciated by me. I should have started taking notes about what I read from the beginning.

I make pots out of local clay that I gather and process, use my own vegetal and mineral pigments, fire in backyard, so it was great reading about all the different approaches. Gave me some ideas, so that's what I was looking for. There is no tradition of pottery here, although lots of lovely clay, so this book is very helpful. Also very inspiring to hear about the spiritual connection with the Earth that these potters have, as that is my whole reason for working with the clay from my Place. What I got is this: you can get all kinds of advice about methods and techniques, but there are as many ways of making pots as there are potters and kinds of clay. The spirit of a place is what guides you best in your journey. It was this that Trimble understood.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Book!
Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2003

This book was recommended to me by the owner of a well known Native American Arts gallery as possibly THE best book on the subject, and it completely lives up to the recommendation. Based on a series of interviews with prominent potters from each pueblo, it not only gives an overview of the history of the different potteries, it is filled with personal thoughts and views of the various artists about their work--not only the processes of creating pottery, but their feelings about how they as modern potters fit into the "history" as well. If you are at all interested in Southwest Pueblo Pottery, you MUST read this book. It's not a "picture book" like so many others, though it does have many great photos, but it's not a scholarly text book either. I cannot recommend this book highly enough and I cannot thank my gallery owner friend enough for recommending it to me.

The book arrived well within the expected time frame. It's a wonderful book and is in excellent condition. A personalized bookmarker was also included. A very talented calligrapher wrote my name in the most beautiful example of copperplate that I have ever seen. Thank you!
