Over the last six decades, deep in the heart of Aravaipa
Valley in southeastern Arizona, Mana Pottery has been producing unique and
stunning Native American Southwestern art. Multi-colored, hand painted
renditions of desert life on handcrafted earthenware provides an inspiring
visual feast in the context of everyday functionality.
Immanuel
"Mana" Trujillo is the heart of Mana Pottery. A World
War II veteran who suffered a bomb blast that caused traumatic brain
injury and
PTSD, Trujillo was transferred in 1948 to a hospital in Fort Sheridan,
Illinois. Here he discovered an empty crafts room and began developing a
career
that would span the next 60 years. A gentle man that was loved by our
family. Mana who was half Apache passed away June 24, 2010.
