Tse Pe Gonzales Pottery - C3771CTse-Pé is generally known by his singular name. His mother was Rose Gonzales, the potter who introduced carved blackware pottery to San Ildefonso Pueblo. Tse-Pé followed the tradition of carved pottery, but chose sgraffito carving rather than the deep carving of his mother's style. In the early 1970s, Tse-Pé was among the first potters to participate in the sgraffito movement, along with Tony DaPopovi DaJoseph LonewolfArt Cody and other male potters. Perhaps because pottery was traditionally a woman's craft, the sgraffito technique was adopted by males as a way not to produce woman's work
