Very early (1974) miniature pot by Nancy Youngblood (native name Yellow Aspen), born 1955. Nancy was surrounded by her family's work and that of her grandmother, Margaret Tafoya, by now the matriarch of Santa Clara pueblo pottery. She learned traditional family ways to gather clay, refine it, shape it, carve and polish pots by watching her mother and grandmother at work. As a young teenager, Nancy was determined to make her own pots by trial and error, and many failures contributed to her learning process. Her first piece for competition was a miniature with a sgraffito serpent design which won a second prize at Gallup Intertribal Ceremonial in 1972.
