SANTA CLARA BLACK POTTERY
by
Glenda Naranjo
Glenda
Naranjo, “Cloth Stick Flower”, is a full
blooded Native American Indian. She was born
in 1953 into the Santa Clara-Tewa Pueblo.
Glenda was inspired to continue the long
lived tradition of hand coiling pottery from
her late mother, Flora Naranjo. Flora taught
Glenda all the fundamentals of working with
clay and using ancient methods to construct
her pottery. Glenda has been working with
clay since the age of 10. The lucrative
aspect of the business also played a key
roll in her becoming a clay artist.
Glenda
specializes in hand coiling traditional
black on black and red Santa Clara pottery.
She gathers her clay from the grounds within
the Santa Clara Pueblo. Glenda soaks the
clay, grinds it to a sandy grain, hand
mixes, hand coils, hand shapes, hand carves,
and fires her finished product the
traditional way, outdoors, with horse dung.
Her patterns include the Water Serpent and
Feather diagrams. She hand coils a wide
variety of sizes and shapes of traditional
pottery. Glenda enjoys working with clay and
feels that in doing so, she proudly adds to
the art world and continues the long lived
legacy of her people. She currently is also
teaching her immediate family to construct
the beautiful pottery that her Pueblo is
famous for making. She signs her pottery as:
Glenda Naranjo, SCP. Glenda is related to:
Frances Salazar, Barbara Martinez, Vickie
Martinez, and Sammy Naranjo

Santa Clara Red Pottery
by Vickie Martinez
Vickie Martinez “Koe-Sawe”,
Buffalo Steps, was born into the Pueblo of
Santa Clara-Tewa in 1967. Vickie was
inspired to continue the long lived
tradition of her ancestors of working with
clay from her Mother, Barbara Martinez. She
has been making pottery since 1983, when she
was 15 years old.
Vickie specializes in the
traditional handmade black and red Santa
Clara pottery. She gathers her own natural
clay from the hills within the Santa Clara
Pueblo.
Vickie cleans, mixes, hand
coils, shapes, carves, fires, and then
polishes her pottery the traditional way.
Vickie was quoted as saying: “I find carving
a very challenging and rewarding experience,
which I am enjoying thoroughly.”
Like all good Santa Clara
pottery, the high gloss on this pot was
achieved by polishing the surface with a
smooth stone...a very tedious process. Three
and sometimes as many as five layers of slip
are applied to the smooth dried work,
allowing time between coats to dry, and then
followed by a lubricating coat of animal
fat. The fat serves two purposes: one, it
allows the stone to slide smoothly over the
surface and two, it keeps the slip damp.
Polishing stones are highly treasured and
usually passed on to descendants.
This large piece features the classic Avanyu water
serpent design. Vickie signs her pottery
as:
Vickie Martinez Tafoya, Santa Clara Pueblo.

continued and modified somewhat by Margaret
and Luther. Upon Luther's death in 1989,
Margaret continued to work with the
assistance of Luther's daughter Pauline, but
Pauline died shortly thereafter. Since that
time, Margaret has continued the tradition
alone creating fine figurines and pots in a
most unique style. More information may be
