The pottery that I make are consider miniatures. Most Santa Clara pottery is about 6 to 8 inches in height and 5 to 7 inches in width. My family has done many smaller pieces. I spent a lot of time watching my grandmother, father, and my aunts make pottery. So that is what has kept me to continue to make miniatures. This has been a family tradition for 4 generations. We have all kept the traditional ways of mixing the clay, making the pottery and firing the pottery same way for all these years. The only thing that has changed is the designs and the way each of us have put ourselves in the designs which make them unique to each of us. Many people will know my family's work. My grandmother Cresenia Tafoya, Father Mark Tafoya, Aunts Harriet Tafoya, Pauline Martinez, Anne Baca. This is something that I enjoy doing and hope to pass the tradition on to my son. Thank you again for visiting my site and hope you enjoy the art work.
