JEMEZ PUEBLO POTTERY

by Helen Tafoya

Helen Tafoya-Henderson is a native from “Walatowa”. Helen learned the art of working with the clay from her mother Vangie Tafoya, also well-known amongst the potters. Helen was taught at an early age, helping her mom clean and mix the clay. Soon she started to form her own pots, with some help from her mother.
Helen now is well-known for the Hummingirds that she puts on her pottery and completes her piece of pottery by putting a stone into the hummingbird’s eye. She uses either turquoise, mother of pearl, onyx or other stones. She is also a collector of hummingbirds herself and says the hummers have brought her luck. Helen’s great-grandmother was from San Ildefonso Pueblo and married into Jemez Pueblo.

Her work is featured in Gregory Schaaf's Southern Pueblo Pottery, Berger and Schiffer's Pueblo and Navajo Contemporary Pottery, plus in Native People's Magazine and Indian Market Magazine. She has won numerous awards at the Santa Fe Indian Market, New Mexico State Fair and the Inter-tribal Indian Ceremonial.

JEMEZ PUEBLO STORYTELLER

by Chrislyn Fragua

Chrislyn Fragua is a 30 year old Native American potter from the reservation of Jemez Pueblo. She has been making pottery, storytellers and other figures since the age of twelve. Her mother Linda Lucero-Fragua took the time to teach her how to make pottery and taught her to get the clay from the hills of Jemez. She is now passing the skills on to her daughter, Anissa Tsosie who is now nine years old.

The clays and paint the Jemez potters use come from the surrounding areas of Jemez Pueblo so everything they use in the process of making the pottery is natural. Her favorite part of making pottery is doing the formation. Once she starts working with the clay she doesn't know what she will be forming and she usually gets different ideas. She has won a couple of ribbons from the Eight Northern Art Shows and plans to accomplish more in the near future.

JEMEZ PUEBLO POTTERY HANGING WALL MASK

by Fannie Loretto

Fannie Loretto, “Little Turqoise”, was born in 1951. She is half Jemez and half Laguna, She is a member of the water clan. She began making pottery at the age of 16. Fannie has been hand coiling clay sculptures and masks for over 22 years, prior to that she made several shapes of hand coiled pottery using traditional ancient methods which were passed down to her from several members in her family.

Fannie was inspired to learn the art of working with clay by assisting her mother, Carrie Reid Loretto make her pottery., Carrie specialized in hand coiled pottery. Fannie gathers all her natural pigments from within the Jemez Pueblo. Then, she grinds, cleans, mixes the clay, hand pinches, shapes, paints, and fires her art, outdoors the traditional way. Fannie stated that: “the masks are my favorite to create because it’s like drawing in 3-D, when I make them.” Fannie is well known for her koshari masks, and she makes them in several different sizes and adds ribbons, feathers, horse hair, and corn husks to compliment her art. She signs her pottery as: Fannie Loretto, followed by the water sign to denote her Clan origin.

 Fannie is a talented artist who is committed to uphold the tradition of hand made pottery.  Her work has been recognized with many awards including best of show at the Heard Museum and eight Northern Pueblos show.

 Others have often asked why she does not use a ceramic mold to make her masks more easily. She would not hear of it! Each piece is carefully crafted by hand, the traditional way, so that each one has a unique expression and character. She recently told me a story in which she had just finished several masks and they were all hanging on a wall.  As she sat checking over them, she said you could almost hear all of the incredible laughs each mask would produce with its unique expression. Artists with such passion in their work are becoming harder and harder to find these days. Fannie is an artist of true tradition.
