- About The Artist
- Gregory S. Wood, BFA Ceramics, ArchæoCeramist™, art educator and recipient of the 1997-1998 National Park Service Award of Interpretive Excellence has worked with clay for more than thirty five years. As a fifth-generation Colorado native, his ongoing work and research with archaeologists, museums, and on-site in the nation's Four Corners region have taken on special meaning. He blends his intense interest in archaeology with ceramics, producing "true", near flawless pottery replicas that speak for themselves. A strong commitment to using only prehistorically available native materials, tools and techniques has earned him a reputation for archaeological authenticity. He works without the benefits of metal, modern equipment, commercial materials or animal fuels. His research has led him to remote locations in the American southwest, Mexico, Central America and Puerto Rico, tracing the origins of ancient pottery making in the new world.
