by Juanita
Fragua

member of the Corn clan, Juanita Fragua
is the matriarch of the Fragua family
and has been instrumental in the Jemez
pottery revival. Potting since the
1950s, she has won many awards at the

fairs. Each of her
pieces is hand coiled in the traditional
methods and painted with all natural
paints.

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.

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).
