FROM THE INTERNET:

Judy Toyawas born into the Water Clan at Jemez Pueblo and has been making pottery since1972. She comes from a long line of famous potters and her mother,MaryToya, and aunt, Fannie Lorretto, passed their knowledge on to her.AnitaandMaryEllen Toyaare her sisters. Vernida Toya is her daughter.

Judy is bestknown for her storytellers and her one-of-a-kind nativity sets, Christmasornaments and friendship pots.

The JemezPueblo is located in Central-Northern New Mexico. The pottery produced there isknown for its distinctive earth-tone colors blending stone polished and mattefinishes with painted and etched designs. The people of Jemez abandoned thecraft of pottery making sometime in the early 18th century and relied insteadon purchasing wares from other Pueblos, mostly Zia. Eventually they began tocreate their own work again during the 1920s and 30s, incorporating Zia\'straditional designs and styles. It was not until the late 70s or 80s when Jemezpottery, with the help of noted potters such asJuanita FraguaandMary Small, that Jemez pottery began to take on more distinctive designs andqualities that have made it very popular among collectors and enthusiasts.
