María Montoya Martinez is one of the most influential potters in the world and has had a definitive impact on the development of ceramics in the American West. Martinez, of Tewa heritage, was born in 1887 in the San Ildefonso Pueblo within the Rio Grande Valley of New Mexico, approximately twenty miles northwest of Santa Fe. Around age eleven, she learned pottery techniques by watching her aunt and grandmother make clay dishes. She quickly became known among her peers for her proficiency and precision with clay.
