Joy Navasie is an internationally recognized Hopi-Tewa potter working in the whiteware tradition which she learned from her mother, Paqua Naha. Known as the Frog Woman (a nickname passed down to her from her mother), Navasie’s Pot is an innovative take on a traditional Hopi-Tewa vessel. Like other Hopi potters, Navasie emphasized traditional pit firing methods using sheep’s dung as fuel and gathered her own clay. However, Navasie introduced a white kaolin clay slip which she painted the red and black designs she is best known for. The surface design of Pot contains motifs of birds, feathers, rain clouds, and geometric patterning.
