Angie Yazzie is renowned for her thin-walled Taos pottery. Each piece is coil-built and made from micaceous clay from near Taos Pueblo.  Angie focuses on traditional shapes along with making each piece nearly paper thin!  It almost feels like there is nothing there when you hold one! This jar has a rounded shoulder, a straight neck, and a fluted rim.  The fluted rims are also called “raindrop rims”.  They are difficult to make to create such an elegant undulation of the form with such thin walls!  The piece is made from micaceous clay so when it is fired it has a sparkling/metallic appearance.  Angie fires her pieces using wood and on this piece.  It is signed on the bottom, “Angie Yazzie”.  She has won numerous awards for her work, including “Best of Pottery” at Santa Fe Indian Market in 2017.
