Anthony "Tony" Padilla (Santa Clara Pueblo): A contemporary potter who harvests clay from Pueblo lands, mixes it with natural sand for consistency, and hand-forms pieces. His work is featured at events like the Santa Fe Indian Market (booth SFT W 534). Tony collaborates with family on traditional blackware pottery, often incorporating natural motifs. One notable piece is a collaborative buffalo fetish (a small clay sculpture symbolizing protection and power) with coral inlaid eyes.
