Jennifer Tafoya #062504

$800.00

Jennifer excels in her creations of miniatures. This mini vase is hand coiled, traditionally fired and painted with natural slips. It is so wonderfully designed with fifteen mini trout swimming around the entire jar. Totally polished, the pigments used on the trout pop out as they are set against the dark black background. Only an expert potter could incise such precise fish on such a small piece. Made in 2018, it is such a marvelous example of Jennifer’s work in miniature form.

Jennifer Tafoya is one of the brightest and most talented artists from Santa Clara pueblo working in the sgraffito area.

She combines this with fabulous traditional Santa Clara geometrics and symbols. Jennifer is the daughter of Emily Suazo-Tafoya and Ray Tafoya. In 2004, Jennifer was honored with BEST OF POTTERY at Indian Market, in Santa Fe. She continues to expand her repertoire of designs and shapes. Every new piece of incised pottery by Jennifer is unique and special. As her images continue to change, she continues to use natural slips and pigments that make for wonderful finished work! MAGNIFICENT!
