Stephanie Tafoya is a 30-year-old great-granddaughter of Margaret Tafoya, a granddaughter of Lee Tafoya, and the daughter of Mel Tafoya. She has learned to make pottery from her aunt, Linda Tafoya-Sanchez.  Each piece is coil-built, carved, stone polished, and traditionally fired.  This piece was inspired by her pet parrot.  It is also her FIRST redware piece!  The jar has alternating polished and matte feathers.  She incised the matte feathers for a visual contrast.  Check out the bottom where the feathers come to a sharp point!  The jar was traditionally fired.  Her name in Tewa is “Khung Be”, which means Holly Berry. This is a hallmark she also puts on her pottery.
