by Daryl Candelaria

Daryl is a 37 year old potter from the San Felipe Pueblo who has developed a very unique style. Combining multiple pottery shards on each piece, his work depicts prehistoric, historic and contemporary styles of Pueblo pottery. He was taught to pot by his grandmother, Juanita Toledo, and his mother, Sara Candelaria. He has won numerous awards, including several first place ribbons at the Santa Fe Indian Market.

We are thrilled to carry Daryl's pottery. He is a truly innovative artist and we believe his pots are a must-have for collectors. This piece combines 20 carved and painted shards.

For each pot he makes, Daryl draws a picture of both sides with each shard named and number. This drawing will be included with your purchase.

Signed Daryl Candelaria, San Felipe, NM.
