Alice Martinez has continued her family’s legacy of Pueblo ceramics for over fifty years. She frequently collaborates with her son Ruben Martinez. The two have experimented widely with the Tunyo Polychrome technique, a traditional style of the San Ildefonso Pueblo that lacks the glossy matte finish the Martinez family popularized with their black-on-black ware in the early twentieth century.
