Roller, Cliff (b. 1961)
Cliff Roller learned to make pottery from his mother, Toni Roller, and he is also a grandson of the noted potter, Margaret Tafoya (1904-2001). His pottery is traditional in form and design with crisply carved lines and a beautiful even stone polished surface. While Cliff makes very little pottery these days, it is great to see the quality of work that he has created in the clay! He has won numerous awards at Santa Fe Indian Market and the Heard Indian Fair for his pottery.
