Pearl Talachy is a distinguished Native American potter representing the Nambé Pueblo of northern New Mexico. Born in 1952, she has dedicated nearly five decades to traditional Pueblo arts. After years of creating traditional clothing and Pueblo embroidery, she shifted her primary focus to pottery in the early 1990s, guided by the mentorship of Luteria Atencio of Ohkay Owingeh.
More About the Artist
In the Tewa language, spoken by the people of the Nambe Pueblo, the word Nambe means “People of the Round Earth.”
Weaving is being revived in the production of kilts and cotton belts. Pottery too is once again being made in black on black and white on red designs similar to the work of the Taos and Picuris Pueblo Potters, however, the principal occupation of the Nambe people is farming, with some outside employment at Los Alamos.
