Fannie Nampeyo was born on the Hopi Native American Reservation in Arizona in 1900. Having only completed school up to the third grade, Nampeyo primarily worked on a ranch with her husband, Vinton Polacca. Nampeyo’s mother, also called Nampeyo, was the matriarch of the Hopi-Tewa Corn Clan and was well-known for her ceramics that followed the ancient pottery traditions of the Hopi people. Though she was taught ceramics at a young age, Nampeyo did not seriously explore pottery-making until her twenties, when her mother’s eyesight began to fail and she needed to help her mother decorate her pots.
