Delaine Tootsie (1962- )

Delaine Tootsie is from the Village of Sichomovi on the Hopi Reservation. She signs her pottery Dee Tootsie. She is one of the younger generation potters and she is exceptional.

“I started making pottery at a young age. I learned from my grandmother. Designs are from all types of patterns. I have always been independent and have depended upon pottery for my main source of income. All my pots are different; I hardly ever make the same designed pottery. Most of my work is miniature and they make nice souvenir items. All my work is done traditional using all native products. I am interested in traveling and seeing other countries with my pottery. I am still young and hope to make new friends.”
