This is a square jar with an elongated neck by Jennifer Tafoya. The entire piece is fully polished. The top has three realistic blue spotted mudskippers. The face of each of the fish is enough to make you smile! Each fish is VERY detailed in design and precision of etching the scales. Not only do they have realism, but they seem to have their own personality. Very Charming! The piece is highlighted with various natural clay slips. The piece is signed, “Jennifer Tafoya”. Jennifer continues to be one of the leading innovative potters working today and the winner of “Best of Show” at Santa Fe Indian Market in 2023.

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.
