Warren Coriz
Santo Domingo Pueblo
Warren Coriz was the son-in-law of Arthur and Hilda Coriz. He didn't start making pottery until he was in his 30s. He learned through watching his wife, Ione Coriz, and working with his mother-in-law and Robert Tenorio.
Warren took home a Second Place ribbon at the Eight Northern Pueblos Arts and Crafts Show in 2005, then earned two First Place ribbons in 2006. He developed a technique which lends a 3D shadow effect to his designs, making them really stand out from more traditional Santo Domingo pottery.
Sadly, Warren passed away in August, 2011. I heard he sold several new pots around Santa Fe that morning and didn't survive to make it home again that evening. Far too many Puebloan potters have not survived the drive home on the I-25 between Albuquerque and Santa Fe.
