PUEBLO
POTTERY
by
Joseph Fragua
Joseph
Fragua is a full blooded Native American
Indian. He was born into the Jemez Pueblo in
1977. Joseph was inspired to learn the art
of working with natural clay by assisting
Sharon Sarracino construct her pottery.
Sharon shared with Joseph all the
fundamentals of working with clay and using
the ancient traditional methods of hand
coiling just like their ancestors before
them. Joseph was quoted as saying: “I enjoy
working with clay because it is a part of me
that I am giving to the world, and the
reactions on the faces of those who admire
my work inspire me to become more creative
with my ideas”.
Joseph specializes in
contemporary hand coiled pottery. He gathers his raw
clumps of clay from within the Jemez Pueblo. He breaks
down the clumps of clay and cleans the fine sands of
clay for impurities. Then, Joseph hand mixes the clay
with sand and water, then, he begins the hand coiling
process by rolling the clay into snake like coils and
begins hand building a clay vessel. Once the vessel is
built he sets the piece out to dry, this is a crucial
stage because if it dries to quickly the vessel may
crack. Once the vessel has dried, he sands his piece
down to give it a smooth finish. Then, he begins the
painting process with a stem of a yucca plant that has
been fashioned into a brush. His designs include flowers
hummingbirds, butterflies, eagle feathers, and intricate
geometric designs. He on occasion with hand sculpt a
kachina maiden with a beautiful head dress on his
pottery. Finally, when the painting is done he fires his
pottery in a kiln so that the painting doesn’t rub off.
Joseph enjoys hand coiling all types of clay art. He
accepts new challenges eagerly. He signs his pottery as:
Fragua, Jemez. He is related to: Margaret Toya
(grandmother).
