Max Early, Laguna Pueblo Potter

Since 1994, Laguna Pueblo pottery artist Max Early has continued to be honored as a top prize-winning artist at Santa Fe Indian Market.  His pottery is already collectible, but rare.  This is because at the same time, he has pursued his higher education degree at the University of New Mexico, leaving less time for making pottery.

Max Early was born into the Turkey Clan of his mother and Bear Clan of his father at Laguna Pueblo in 1963.  You will notice that his signature also includes the turkey symbol.  He grew up with his grandparents.  During his early teenage years, he painted some of his grandmother’s pottery.  He refined his technique to a personal touch, while maintaining traditional Laguna design symbols and compositions.
