Calvin Analla learned to make pottery from his sister, Yvonne Lucas, and her husband, Steve Lucas. This unique canteen is made by mixing two different types of clay together. That creates the mottled appearance of the clay. The canteen is thin-walled and painted with bee-weed (black). One side has a flower design with thin lines representing the rain. The opposite side has double birds along with thin lines for the rain and the complex bird tails. The precision of the painting is simply Amazing! It has a rounded bottom so it is sitting on a small stand. It is signed on the bottom, “Calvin Analla”.

Calvin Analla

Calvin Analla is the brother of noted potter Yvonne Lucas. He creates pottery in a classic Laguna style with variations on design and clay colors. Calvin is from the village of Paguate, just north of Laguna. He started creating pottery in 1990 while observing his paternal grandmother, Evelyn Cheromiah, and his aunt, Lee Ann Cheromiah. Born in 1960, Calvin Analla Jr. uses traditional Pueblo pottery methods of collecting his clay near the Pueblo, hand coiling and scrap shaping each pot, but often uses a variation of clay color in is construction, giving an added dimension of a marbled appearance. He attributes this process to needing some additional clay, when his brother-in-law Steve Lucas offered him some lighter Hopi clay. He molded the two together and created the marbled clay construction. After applying fine line and Pueblo designs to his pottery, Calvin also uses the traditional methods of open firing his work.
