About The Artist

Nathan’s early work earned recognition, winning First and Second Prizes at the 1970 Gallup Inter-Tribal Ceremonial. In 1976, he decided to pursue pottery full-time, apprenticing with his grandparents. Initially, his work closely resembled his grandmother’s style, but in the 1980s, he began experimenting with new shapes and expansive designs. By the 1990s, Nathan incorporated Asian influences into his pottery, inspiring other artists to blend cultural elements with personal experiences.

Pueblo

The Santa Clara Pueblo is a member of the Eight Northern Pueblos, and the people are from the Tewa ethnic group of Native Americans who speak the Tewa language. The Pueblo is on the Rio Grande, between Ohkay Owingeh (formerly San Juan Pueblo) to the north and San Ildefonso Pueblo to the south. Santa Clara Pottery and its Pueblo are famous for producing hand-crafted pottery, specifically blackware and redware with deep engravings.
