Clinton Polacca Nampeyo is a great-grandson of noted potter Nampeyo of Hano. He is a grandson of Fannie Nampeyo and son of Harold Polacca. Clinton began making pottery around 1975 and was taught by Fannie Nampeyo. “I learned from watching my grandmother, Fannie. I just starting doing pots by myself four years ago. I used to just make them, and she’d paint them. I have a respect for the designs. I usually just sell to people who really want them and connect with the design and respect it.” – Clinton Polacca (Fourteen Families)
