Johanna Herrera and Anthony Baca — Santa Clara Pueblo Potter Collaborators
Johanna Herrera (b. ca. 1960s) and Anthony Baca are a collaborative duo from Santa Clara Pueblo, New Mexico, renowned for their hand‑built blackware and redware pottery that blends ancestral Tewa techniques with distinctive carved motifs.
Johanna Herrera, often working with partner Anthony Baca, is a dedicated traditional potter from Santa Clara Pueblo. She learned the craft from master potter Corn Moquino and began creating pieces in the early 2000s, with over 20 years of experience by the mid‑2010s. The pair source local clay from Santa Clara lands, hand‑coil without a wheel, stone‑polish for a glossy finish, and pit‑fire outdoors using smothered reduction to achieve the signature black glaze
