Tammy Garcia is known for her contemporary designs and use of traditional clay. This jar incorporates her evolving style of carving her pieces in various layers.  The open bowl has a carved Thunderbird in the center.  Much in the style of historic jewelry, there are etched designs on the wings, as if they were stamped in silver. The stone in the center is a piece of Sleeping Beauty Turquoise.  The interior of the bowl is rounded out and the outside is rag polished at an angle.  While a smaller piece, it capture the essence of Tammy’s creativity and style.  Tammy has won numerous awards for her pottery for nearly the past 30 years.  Her creative work in clay, glass and bronze is found in museums worldwide.  It is exciting to see how her contemporary work continues to move Pueblo pottery forward with it innovations.
