Margaret Tafoya Folk Art
American, 1904-2001
Margaret Tafoya was the matriarch of Santa Clara Pueblo potters. Born on August 13, 1904, Margaret learned the art of pottery-making from her mother, Sarafina Tafoya. In the 1920s, elaborately carved pottery became popular at Santa Clara, one of the pueblos of the Rio Grande. This may have been in response to a change in the material after Santa Clara’s traditional clay source was lost in a landslide and the new clay required a thicker-walled vessel. Today, Santa Clara has become known for its carved redware and blackware, as well as for incised decoration. Tafoya died in Santa Clara Pueblo on February 25, 2001.
