Hopi Hand Coiled Pottery

by Fawn Navasie-Garcia

Fawn Navasie-Garcia, formerly "Little Fawn", was born in 1959 into the Hopi reservation. She was inspired to continue the family tradition of making pottery by her late mother, the famous "Eunice (original Fawn) Navasie". Eunice taught Fawn the fundamentals of traditional Hopi pottery making. Early on, Fawn specialized in the white slip pottery her mother taught her to make which, according to Fawn, is much more difficult.

Fawn has been making pottery since 1979 and specializes in elegant polychrome buff or yellow slipped pottery. Fawn coils a wide variety of shapes like wedding vases, egg shaped pots and bowls. Her designs originate from the Sikyatki Ruins (yellow earth, it's the name of a former village at the Hopi reservation located two miles north of First Mesa). Fawn signs her pottery: Fawn, followed by a fawn hoofprint.

Hopi Hand Coiled Pottery

by Dawn Navasie

Dawn Navasie, "Polaquimana" (Red Tail Hawk), member of the Water Clan, was born into the Hopi-Tewa Reservation in 1961. She was inspired to continue the family tradition of pottery making from her extremely famous mother, the late Eunice "Fawn" Navasie. Fawn taught Dawn the fundamentals of making traditional Hopi pottery at the age of 4. Dawn would assist her mother with her pottery which inspired her to learn the art. She began perfecting her skills at the age of 17.

Dawn specializes in handmade traditional Hopi style pottery. She prefers making the larger ollas because they have more room to paint her favorite designs of mythical rainbirds and rain clouds. She also paints moths, weather symbols and elements of the earth. Natural minerals and vegetables like wild bee plant, hematite and red clay are used for coloration. Dawn is a superb artist in the Hopi-Tewa tradition. She paints with a sure hand and has a design vision that recalls the beauty and quality of her mother's work. Dawn signs her pottery: Dawn Navasie, followed by a water symbol to denote her clan origin.
