He first learned the fundamentals of working with clay from family members at the age of 10, including his grandmother Andrea Ortiz. Today he is known for his polychrome pots created in the traditional Santo Domingo style, which typically features a red base and interior, and black designs painted on a buff background. Tenorio is particularly known for his large vessels with striking geometric and nature designs inspired by centuries-old Santo Domingo pottery. All of his pots are constructed by hand using the traditional coil method, and fired outdoors in an open kiln using cottonwood bark as fuel. Tenorio’s pigments are also created from natural organic materials, including Rocky Mountain Bee Weed. Tenorio studied at the Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA) and has won numerous awards at Santa Fe Indian Market and other prestigious Native arts shows.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBowl measures 12\" long and wide, stands 8-1\/2\" tall.
