Effie Garcia, Santa Clara Pueblo Pottery
+ Add Artist to My Preferences
Effie Garcia and her husband Orville Garcia of Santa Clara Pueblo collaborate on pottery production. I believe Effie makes the pottery and Orville takes care of carving the designs. They have been consistent award winners at Santa Fe Indian Market since 1983. The couple produces elegant shaped vessels and beautifully deep-carved designs with precise edges. Effie Garcia is the granddaughter of Rosita Velarde; daughter of Victoria Gutierrez; sister of Eugene Gutierrez, Sally Tafoya, Gail Tapia, Ethel Yazza, and Julie Gutierrez; wife of Orville Garcia.
