BiographyNambé potter Lonnie Vigil was born in New Mexico in 1949. He grew up at Nambé Pueblo and earned a business degree from Eastern New Mexico University. After working in finance and business in New Mexico and then Washington, D.C., he returned to Nambé Pueblo in the early 1980s for something more fulfilling. He began working with micaceous clay. He is mainly self-taught but also asked for advice from his great-grandmother and great-aunts, who were potters. He is known for his unpainted micaceous clay pots.
