designs while her husband helps with the
firing and finding clay. She paints
various designs most often depicting
dances or pueblo life. By Combining
white with a dark gold clay, Lois has
created her own custom slip which fires
as a lovely color. Each pot is signed

design. It depicts an Avanyu sea serpent
encircling the perimeter with feather
patterns along the top.

GENUINE HOPI HAND COILED
POTTERY
by
Loren Nampeyo
Loren Hamilton Nampeyo learned
the delicate art of pottery making from being
around his maternal grandmother, Fannie Nampeyo.
He also learned a great deal from his well-known
mother, Tonita Hamilton Nampeyo.
He spent a year learning from
his Uncle, Tom Polacca. He still makes pottery
full time, interpreting old designs his way. He
uses a method he learned from Tom, called
Sgraffito, which is the cutting away of
different parts of surface layer of clay to
expose colored layers.
Loren's work remains some of
the finest in Hopi carved pottery. His
meticulous attention to detail can be seen in
every line.
Loren's work is also
recognizable because of the high-polished finish
he achieves in completing his pieces. In this
way, his work resembles that of his well-known
aunt, Iris Youvella Nampeyo.

SANTA CLARA POTTERY
b y
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".

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.
This beautiful piece features intricate
geometric designs and is signed Dusty.
