For more than six centuries, artists across the Hopi Mesas and the greater Southwest have shaped clay into vessels of uncommon beauty and enduring meaning. Fire of Ages traces this long arc of creativity through masterworks from the Allan and Judith Cooke Collection and the Arthur and Linda Pelberg Family Collection—works that reveal evolving forms, revived traditions, and lineages of artistry that span generations. From the bold innovations of the Nampeyo family to the refined designs of modern potters, the exhibition follows how fire, clay, and vision combine to create a living tradition, illuminating the deep continuity—and constant reinvention—at the heart of American Indian ceramic art.
