COILED POTTERY
by
Frederica Antonio
Frederica
Antonio is a full blooded Native American Indian who was born in 1968
into the Acoma Pueblo. Frederica was inspired to continue the long lived
family tradition of making pottery by her mother-in-law, Mildred
Antonio. Frederica developed an interest in pottery making while
observing Mildred hand-coil and paint on her pottery. Mildred taught
Frederica all the fundamentals of pottery making. Frederica began making
pottery at the age of 18.

dazzling designs. She fashions a brush from the stems of a yucca plant
to paint her eye dazzling designs. She also paints a band on the side of
her pottery with kokopelli (god of fertility). She also paints using
different colors of paint so the pottery gives you a unique three
dimensional effect. She hand coils a variety of sizes and styles, every
one of her pots is a one of a kind work of art; there are no two pieces
alike. She signs her masterpieces as: F.V. Antonio, Acoma, N.M.

ACOMA PUEBLO HAND
COILED POTTERY
by
Terrence Chino
Terrance M. Chino, Sr.
is a full blooded Native American Indian. He is a member of the Sun Clan
and he was born in 1965 into the Acoma Pueblo. He learned the ancient
traditional methods of working with clay art from his mother, the late,
Evelyn L. Chino. She taught him all the fundamentals of where to gather
clay and how to prepare and hand coil pottery. She also taught him the
importance of continuing the long lived tradition of his ancestors.
Terrance gathers his
clay, natural pigments, and vegetation from within the Acoma Pueblo. He
cleans it for impurities and hand mixes it with sand and water to temper
the clay. Then, he begins the hand coiling process, he prays and chants
while he works on his pottery so that each piece is blessed. When he has
completed the hand coiling and his pot has taken form he sets them out
to dry. While the pottery is drying he breaks down all his plants so
that he may begin hand boiling colors for his masterpieces. He gathers
plants such as spinach plant and wild flowers for this process. When his
pottery is fully dried he sands each piece to a smooth finish and begins
hand painting with the stem of a yucca plant which has been fashioned
into a brush. He hand paints his favorite designs of checkerboards,
flowers, mimbres, and sunfaces. Finally, Terrance fires his pottery the
traditional way, outdoors. He signs his pottery as: Terrance M. Chino,
Sr., Acoma, N.M. Terrance is related to: Terrance M. Chino, Jr. (son)
Emil Chino, Jeffrey Chino, Sr., (brothers), Ilona Chino, Colleen Marian,
Marlene Vallo, Idene Mariano (sisters), Ivan F. Chino (father), and the
late, Evelyn L. Chino (mother).

POTTERY WEDDING VASE
by Juanita Fragua
A
member of the Corn clan, Juanita Fragua is the
matriarch of the Fragua family and has been
instrumental in the Jemez pottery revival. Potting

methods and painted with all natural paints.

ways. Each piece is marked JCF, carved into the

full name, Pueblo and date. Last she marks each pot
with her trademark arrow.

difficult to do. This piece features a swirled melon
design on the bottom with a square rim. It is stone
polished and painted with all natural slips.

Ildefonso
Pueblo. He specializes in traditional and contemporary blackware
pottery.
He
started the art of pottery making by watching his grandmother, Carmelita
Dunlap, as she would hand coil and hand paint her traditional black

pots and presently he specializes in green-on-black pots. He harvests
his clumps of raw clay from the sacred grounds within the San Ildefonso
Pueblo, then, Erik breaks the clumps of clay to a fine powder substance
and mixes it with volcanic ash and water, once that process is complete

the vessel is built it is set out to dry. Once it has dried he sands it
down to smooth out the surface. He stone polishes and hand paints his
designs with all natural paints which are all boiled from native
vegetation grown in the Pueblo. He is related to Martha Appleleaf
Fendor (mother), Carmelita Dunlap (grandmother), Linda Dunlap (aunt),

SANTA CLARA POTTERY

Ron Suazo
Ron
Suazo is a full- blooded Native American
Indian from the Santa Clara Pueblo.
Ron’s pottery style comes from watching
his mother; who taught Ron how to coil,
polish, and fire his pottery. Ron
created his designs from studying
ancient pueblo styles and early designs
from generations prior. He visited
several museums and looked intently at
the pottery created by the Ancient
Pueblo Indians, and was deeply
impressed.
Ron decided to create his own style, but to
call upon his studies of early and ancient
designs. Ron’s style has become one of
unique black polish and matte finish with
feather designs, bear paws, and other early
styles. Ron will add stones to his work such
as turquoise, coral, and malachite. From the
day Ron sparked an interest in pottery
making, he hoped that his work would be
unique and stand apart from all the others.
It is believed that Ron has accomplished his
goal. Every one of his pots are copy
righted, therefore, every one is an original
design.
This lidded pot features
an intricate pattern surrounded by bear paw
prints. This piece is signed "Ron Suazo,
Santa Clara Pueblo New Mexico".

occasion, Julie likes to work with her husband, Johnny Tapia, also of
Santa Clara.

SANTA CLARA TWO TONE POTTERY
by Dusty
Naranjo
Like her brother, Forrest Naranjo, Dusty
was not raised in a strictly pueblo
environment. Her father, Tito Naranjo,
was a university professor and this less
traditional upbringing probably accounts
for the contemporary styles of Dusty's
pottery. In fact, Dusty did not even
pursue pottery until a little later in
life. She first graduated with a BA in
psychology from NM Highlands University
and recently obtained her Master's
Degree in Art Therapy. However, having
been exposed to pottery making
throughout her life -- both her parents
pot and her father's siblings are Jody
Folwell, Nora Naranjo- Morse and Dolly
Naranjo -- it was perhaps inevitable
that Dusty give it a try. When she did
begin potting she discovered that is was
a wonderful creative process. Using only
traditional techniques, Dusty is now a
well known potter having progressed far
in a short period of time.
