Lawrence Saufkie (1935-2011) was the son of Paul Saufkie. The elder Saufkie, along with Fred Kabotie, developed the Hopi overlay style of jewelry during the 1930s. After World War II, they taught this style to returning veterans at the Hopi Crafts Guild on Second Mesa at Hopi Pueblo. Lawrence Saufkie continued working in the style of his father and went on to influence a new generation of silversmiths.
