CADDOAN ARTISAN: Jeri Redcorn

Caddo artisan Jeri Redcorn views pottery making as a way of

bringing back ancient Caddo traditions. Jeri would always see beautiful

Caddo pottery in museums until ultimately she decided to learn how to

make it herself. Jeri’s techniques were copied from 800 year old

methods that her ancestors skillfully used. She decorates and engraves

her pottery with the same designs and engravings that the ancient

Caddo also used to help preserve their stories, legends and oral

traditions. Jeri regularly participates in Caddo Culture Day at Caddo

Mounds State Historic Site, Alto, Texas.
