Greg Garcia was known for his use of classic Santa Clara forms for his pottery.  He learned to make pottery from his grandmother, Severa Tafoya, and also worked closely with his sister, Tina Garcia.  This is one of his few redware pieces.  It is a classic bowl and fully polished.  Red is always more difficult to polish as it shows more of the stone marks, as well as when it is fired, there can be more color variations.  This bowl is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair. It is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Greg Garcia”.
