This is a highly detailed new seedpot by Jennifer Tafoya. The piece is round with four flat sides. Each of the flat sections has a different etched bird. Ther is a cardinal, hummingbird, vermillion flycatcher, and a scarlet tanager. It is creative how Jennifer used the red of the clay as the focal point for each of the red birds. Note as well the tan area behind each bird, incised with additional designs. All the colors are derived from natural clay slips that Jennifer finds. It is signed, “Jennifer Tafoya”.

Tafoya, Jennifer (b. 1977)

Jennifer Tafoya

Jennifer Tafoya is the daughter of Ray and Emily Tafoya. The use of realism in their imagery has revitalized the style of sgraffito pottery originated by Joseph Lonewolf in the 1970s. Jennifer has won numerous awards for her pottery and is featured in books such as "Talking with the Clay," "Crafted to Perfection," and "Breaking the Mold." Jennifer has also been featured in recent magazine articles in "Native Peoples Magazine" and "Southwest Art Magazine" and won "Best of Pottery" for a collaborative jar at the 2013 Heard Indian Market Guild. She has continued to be an award-winning potter at Santa Fe Indian Market's 'Best of Show 2023.' Jennifer uses the Native American traditional hand-coiled pottery methods, then shapes, polishes, and is traditionally fired before applying scraffito. She then paints natural ore colors and slips them into her designs. She collects and processes all of her pottery materials from natural sources.
