Calvin Analla Jr., Laguna Pueblo Potter

We learned that Calvin Analla Jr. makes a mixture of clay from Laguna and Hopi for his pottery. We also found out that he is not a prolific potter, so his finished works are relatively rare. He has progressed in his work by adding painted designs to his newer pottery.

In further consultation with a former manager of the Case Trading Post of the Wheelwright Museum, we learned that this young man is a brother of Yvonne Lucas, wife of Steve Lucas of Hopi. Yvonne was formerly from Laguna Pueblo.

Calvin Analla, Jr. was born in 1960 and lives in the Laguna Pueblo village Paguate.
