Additional Information: The Native American potters of Santa Clara pueblo, New Mexico are historically known, for over three centuries, for their polished (burnished) redware and blackware vessels, either undecorated or incorporating incised and carved lines. The deep red and black of these pots is created during the firing processâe"a freely burning, oxygen rich fire produces iron oxide that creates redware; smothering the fire toward the end of the firing process prevents oxygen from reaching the pots and creates blackware. The Santa Clara pueblo currently has the largest number of active potters of the pueblo Indian pottery producers. Santa Clara and San Ildefonso pueblos are adjacent and their pottery techniques have been shared and influenced by the other. Margaret Tafoya and her mother, SaraFina Tafoya, are considered the matriarchs of Santa Clara pottery. They developed the carved pottery technique in the 1920s. Helen Shupla was another important innovator who created the melon bowl from an earlier historic version. Her melon bowls are distinctive because she pushed the ribs from the inside out instead of carving them on the outside. The near-legendary families of Tafoya, Naranjo, Navasie and Gutierrez continue to make some of the finest pots in the world. Margaret Tafoya, the matriarch of Santa Clara Pueblo potters, passed away in February 2001 at the age of 96. Black-on-black and redware is still popular as well as polychrome designs. Many potters favor highly polished surfaces and frequently use the traditional bear paw imprint. The avanyu, Tewa for water serpent, is a favorite motif. The double-spouted wedding vase is also a popular vessel. Recently several potters are creating sgraffito pottery, finely detailed geometrics and plant and animal forms on vessels. The potters use multiple colors of clay slips to emphasize areas of decorations. Several potters also create clay figures, another traditional art form of the pueblo
