Jemez Pueblo Hand Coiled Etched Pottery

Brenda Tafoya has been making pottery since she was 10 years old, beginning with simple bowls and has refined her work to what it is today. She has developed her own style, which she refers to as "the melon cut style" using three different colors of slip. Her trademark is the kiva step, which you will find on both the designs for the pottery and in her signature. Her designs include serpents, hummingbirds, butterflies and owls with the melon cut. Brenda shows her work at four art shows during the year. These include the Jemez Red Rocks Art Show - Memorial Day weekend, Eight Northern Arts and Crafts Show - 3rd weekend in July, Santa Fe Indian Market - 3rd weekend in August and the University of Tucson Art Show.
