JEMEZ PUEBLO POTTERY
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 since the
1950s, she has won many awards at the
Santa Fe Indian Market and other craft
fairs. Each of her
pieces is hand coiled in the traditional
methods and painted with all natural
paints.
Juanita
signs each of her pieces in three
separate ways. Each piece is marked JCF,
carved into the bottom of the pot. She
then signs the piece with her full name,
Pueblo and date. Last she marks each pot
with her trademark arrow.
Juanita
is the only artist working today that
creates her melon pots by pushing out
from the inside. The process is very
time consuming and difficult to do. This
piece features a swirled melon design on
the bottom with a scalloped rim. It is
stone polished and painted with all
natural slips.

PUEBLO STORYTELLER
by Chrislyn
Fragua
Chrislyn Fragua is a 30
year old Native American potter from the
reservation of Jemez Pueblo. She has
been making pottery, storytellers and
other figures since the age of twelve.
Her mother Linda Lucero-Fragua took the
time to teach her how to make pottery
and taught her to get the clay from the
hills of Jemez. She is now passing the
skills on to her daughter, Anissa Tsosie
who is now nine years old.
The clays and paint the Jemez
potters use come from the surrounding areas
of Jemez Pueblo so everything they use in
the process of making the pottery is
natural. Her favorite part of making pottery
is doing the formation. Once she starts
working with the clay she doesn't know what
she will be forming and she usually gets
different ideas. She has won a couple of
ribbons from the Eight Northern Art Shows
and plans to accomplish more in the near
future.
