Nativity Figures by Stella Teller. 13 pieces include figures of people (corn maiden, wise men, etc.) and 6 animals. Stella Teller has a long career of making storyteller figurines and has consistently won prizes for them since she made her first one in 1978. Stella began working in clay at the age of eight, helping her mother slip and polish small pots. She is now a full time potter creating figurines and pottery in her studio at Isleta Pueblo. Her pottery is distinguished from traditional Isleta Polychrome wares by its distinctive colors. The light gray, which has become her trademark, is produced by mixing white clay with manganese. She was one of the first potters to insert turquoise cabs into the clay. Not to be considered parochial, Stella Teller expanded the repertoire to include storytellers representing Navajo, Isleta Pueblo, Apache and Hopi males and females. She is credited with making the first storyteller to represent a Navajo. Date: Location: Isleta Pueblo, New Mexico HWAC # 49407
