Phyllis M Tosa

Chief pottery maker and master artisan. Her designs seamlessly blend the ancient and the new, and may include the people, flora and fauna, the weather, the four seasons, and/or the cardinal directions.

Each clay craft is hand-built slowly, using meticulous methods of coiling and pinching. She fires her Jémez artworks in traditional ways. Every striking design and fine line is then hand painted. Smooth accents are vigorously stone polished.
