Priscilla Namingha Nampeyo (1924 - 2008) was a Hopi-Tewa potter who was known for her traditional pottery. Namingha mined her own clay and created her own pigments for her large pots. Her work is in the collection of several museums and cultural centers.
Priscilla Namingha was born in 1924, was Hopi-Tewa and lived in Polacca, First Mesa. Namingha was the oldest daughter of Rachel Namingha and sister of Dextra Quotskuyva, Lillian Gonzales and Elenor Lucas, all of whom were potters. She is a great-granddaughter of potter, Nampeyo. Priscilla Namingha's daughters also went on to become potters. Namingha stated that she learned to create pottery by watching her mother work. As a girl, she also learned pottery techniques from Nampeyo. Namingha kept making pottery almost up to her death in 2008.
