Delmar Polacca was born in 1959 and is the son of Tom Polacca, a renowned Hopi potter from the village of Polacca, on Hopi first mesa. The Nampeyo-Polacca Family is now in it's fifth generation of potters and is listed in the book "Fourteen Families in Pueblo Pottery." Delmar works in the same style that his father Tom created, that of deeply carved scenes of Hopi culture. His carvings are very precise and refined. Delmar learned his techniques by watching his grandmother Fannie, his father Tom, his aunts, uncles and cousins. He invented (with the help of his young daughter) the marbling of Red and Light clay, which is a very difficult technique. Delmar has only been making pottery since 1993 but has already won many awards at the Hopi Show, the Museum of Northern Arizona and the Mesa Verde Show and most recently the Zuni Art Show. Size is 2" high by 1-3/4" wide x 1-3/4" widest diameter.
