Joel Queen
Cherokee
Joel Queen is a ninth-generation potter of the Bigmeat family in the Eastern Band of the Cherokee Nation. His home is in the Smoky Mountains of North Carolina. His pottery is made the traditional way: hand-coiled, hand-polished, ground-fired. Joel was also in the forefront of the movement to bring back Cherokee stamped pottery, a style that dates back thousands of years.
