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

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.
