JEMEZ
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).

JEMEZ PUEBLO POTTERY
by
Laura Gachupin
Laura is undoubtedly one of the finest potters to emerge from
Jemez Pueblo in the past 25 years. Laura's mother, Marie G.
Romero, was one of the people responsible for the renaissance
in Jemez pottery in the 1970s. For many years Jemez has
produced only sun-dried. poster-painted pottery of low
quality. In the 1970s, Marie, with a few other potters, began
to make traditional pueblo pottery in terms of technique but
with unique styles due to the fact that there was not any
traditional "Jemez" style. Laura benefited from her mother's
guidance and took Jemez pottery to new heights of styles and
quality. Much of what pottery is produced at Jemez today is
derivative of Laura's work. She has won many, many awards at
numerous shows and remains one of the most sought after of
Jemez potters.
This pot is one of her more
recent styles with beautifully carved ribs, a
high stone polish and buff color. Signed by the
artist.

Indian from the Jemez Pueblo. Pauline has
been hand coiling pottery for more than 15
years. Her mother, Persingula R. Tosa,
taught Pauline all the fundamentals of
making pottery the traditional way. Her

pottery making, but has come a long way from the
poster-paint days of the Jemez pottery. She gathers her
clay from within the hills of the Jemez Pueblo. She also
cleans, mixes, hand coils, shapes, paints, polishes, and
fires her pottery the traditional way, outdoors. She has
a unique method of adding a hand stone polish to a red
or buff colored slip. The shapes are swirl bowls,
wedding vases and various shaped pots. Pauline has also
started to etch on her pottery, which add a very elegant
contrast to the her polished work. She signs her pottery
as: Pauline Romero, Jemez.
