Bobby credits learning to make pottery from Navasie. His focus is to revive the Siktayki pottery of 1100-1600. Hopi potters have never taken on the revival of the ancient Sikyatki pottery clay and firings. Since 2015 Bobby has revived the Siktayki method of firing using lignite coal, which he acquires near First Mesa at Hopi.
More About the ArtistHopi-Tewa pottery is created on the Hopi Reservation which is located in northeastern Arizona. It is an area that is surrounded by the Navajo Reservation. Hopi consists of three Mesas, each of which has several villages. The Hopi-Tewa people speak the Tewa language and are primarily located in First Mesa in the villages of Hano and Polacca. They are descendants of the Tewa-speaking Pueblo people of New Mexico who came to the Mesa around the time of the Pueblo Revolt in 1680.
