Chris Youngblood

Chris Youngblood is Margaret Tafoya’s great-grandson and Nancy Youngblood’s son.  His mother, Nancy, taught him to make pottery.  He won the “Best of Class – Youth Award” at Santa Fe Indian Market and the prestigious “Best of Pottery” in 2014.  In the 2010 Native People’s Magazine, he was featured as one of the “Generation Next Emerging Potters” and recently featured in Native Art Magazine in 2016 as one of the “Three Potters Under 30” to watch. In addition, his “Best of Pottery” jar was featured in the book “Spoken Through Clay.”

Chris Youngblood says that he focuses on each piece, taking the time to work on the shape and stone polish the surface to a high shine, often polishing it several times to get it right.  Chris comes to the clay focused on expanding his illustrious family’s technical and artistic boundaries.  His manipulation of the clay surface through his technically inspired imagery expands the art in new directions.
