The Folwell Family: 5 Generations of Potters
June 22 – October 20, 2024
This exhibition will feature Native American pottery from 5 generations of the Folwell family, including Rose Naranjo, Jody, Polly Rose, Susan, Kaa and Tonka Folwell. The family is from Kha’poo Owinge or Santa Clara Pueblo, a member of the Eight Northern Pueblos of the Tewa-speaking Pueblo Indians. It was established around 1550 and is located along the Rio Grande in north-central New Mexico. At Santa Clara, pottery making is passed down from generation to generation, and the potters are famous for their hand-crafted blackware and redware.
