This beautiful book presents in large format the story of Margaret Tafoys's paramount place in the evolution of Tewa Pueblo pottery in Santa Clara, New Mexico. This monumental work is divided into four major sections examining a history of the Pueblo people, Margaret Tafoya's life, Santa Clara pottery making techniques, and the Tafoya family and descendants. Because Margaret Tafoya has adhered to the traditions of her pueblo in both her lifestyle and her ceramics, these traditions are now being passed on through her children and grandchildren. Margaret Tafoya demonstrates the very best in Tewa Pueblo pottery. Enhanced by the spectacular photographs-more than a hundred of which are in full color-this books presents a tribute to the Pueblo ceramic artisans in general and especially, to Margaret Tafoya-a living icon and vital bridge between Tewa past future.

This review is from: Margaret Tafoya: A Tewa Potters Heritage and Legacy (Hardcover)
This book is a thorough look at Margaret Tafoya's life and her ability to create fantastic pottery. This book is a must for any Indian art collector. The Blairs must have spent years researching the geneology of the Tafoya family. It is a great reference for who is related to whom in the Santa Clara pueblo. Wow. I use this book all the time to reference my pottery.
