There were few potters at Santa Clara Pueblo who were as well-known as Margaret Tafoya during the 20th century. She was the mother of a talented family of potters and the entire family spent summers at the Royal Gorge near Canon City, Colorado, where they would demonstrate for tourists. Margaret was adept at making very large jars or very small jars. She produced an outstanding burnish and beautiful black firing. There were no mistakes in her work.
