When Stephen Trimble published his book Talking with the Clay-the Art of Pueblo Pottery in 1987, he put a grouping of Helen Shupla's black and red pottery on the cover, another grouping of her pottery facing Chapter Three, and mentioned her in the text on page 47. This is an indication of his admiration for her work. In Betty LeFree's book Santa Clara Pottery Today, published in 1975, she interviewed Helen Shupla and quoted her in regard to the proper mixing of clay. She chose Helen because of her production of fine pottery.
