Fiorinda Otero
+ Add Artist to My Preferences
I have not yet found reference to Fiorinda Otero as a potter, but it is quite possible she was a member of the classes taught at the pueblo starting in 1972. At that time, there was an attempt to revive the art of pottery production at Santa Ana. Eudora Montoya is the most well recognized potter from Santa Ana Pueblo. It was she who, in 1972, began teaching Santa Ana women the art of pottery making. She had 17 students in her first class. Only 5 or 6 of them continued making pottery. I do not know who the 17 students were.
