Tyra Naha-Black is a daughter of Rainy Naha.   She learned to make pottery from her mother and continues to make traditional style Hopi-Tewa pottery in the style her grandmother, Helen “Feather Woman” Naha.  This bowl is coil built and painted with native clay slips and bee-weed (black).  It is a classic design with a bear claw pattern around the shoulder and base of the bowl. There are two different clay slips for additional color. Tyra also polished the inside of the bowl, which is always more difficult and adds to the complexity of the piece (it increases the chance for the piece to crack in drying).  The bowl is is traditionally fired and signed on the bottom with a feather and spider (Spider Clan ) and a “3” for being Third Generation of the Naha family.
