Folwell, Jody (b. 1942)

Jody Folwell

Jody Folwell has long been one of the essential innovators in Pueblo pottery. She is the daughter of Rose Naranjo and the mother of potters Polly Rose Folwell and Susan Folwell. Her pottery is displayed in museums around the country, and her work is featured in numerous books, including "The Art of Clay" and "Legacy of Generations." Her revolutionary work of the 1970s changed the surface of Santa Clara pottery with her distinctive firings, use of various clay slips, and utilization of non-traditional design elements. Creative patina and a wide variety of subject matter in her designs follow elements of traditional Pueblo subjects and reach out to current events of the world. Today, Jody continues to evolve in her art, and each piece brings together different aspects of her long history of making pottery.

Folwell, Susan (b.1970)

Susan Folwell

Susan Folwell is one of the exciting innovators in Pueblo pottery. Her work is native clay and inspired by traditional designs, but she continually experimented with techniques and clays. Susan is Jody Folwell's daughter and Polly Rose Folwell's sister. She has won numerous awards at the Santa Fe Indian Market and the Heard Indian Market. In addition, she has been featured in several books, including "NDN," "Free Spirit," and others. Susan said, "My earliest recollection is that my mother gave me a ball of clay. I decided I wanted to make a snake. It was a long, flat tube. She said it has to have some character if you want people to be interested in it. I said I thought it had enough character. She said no, so she bent the tube and made it into an "S," and she pinched the nose. I cried for an hour as she pinched the nose, and I thought it was now a worm; she swore it was still a snake. In the end, I was thrilled because it sold for $2. I was hooked after that."
