Guadalupe Ortiz (1929-2015)

Guadalupe Ortiz, Cochiti Pueblo, was the husband of Seferina and the father of Virgil and his siblings.  He had been an active potter since only 1998 so there is not a large quantity of his pottery available.  His interest was in making frogs and other figurines and occasionally bowls and jars.  He also wass a maker of drums, rattles and wood carvings.

He was an award winner at the 1998 Santa Fe Indian Market and at the New Mexico State Fair the same year.
