Sue Williams

Sue Williams is the sister of world renowned Navajo potter Alice Cling and Susie Crank. The three sisters learned pottery from their mother, Rose Williams, who is recognized as one of the matriarchs of modern Navajo pottery. Sue’s pieces are entirely hand-made, from digging and preparing the clay to hand constructing the pot, and finally to firing it in a wood fire. Each piece is then coated with a thin veneer of melted pine pitch, enhancing the color variations that result naturally from the firing.
