She is known for exceptionally thin-walled (\"eggshell\") hand-coiled pottery, often featuring fine-line geometric, rain, cloud, plant, or contemporary designs. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBackground and Style She learned pottery making from her parents, Elliott and Beatrice Garcia, starting around age 12 in Acomita. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor many years, she collaborated with her then-husband Patrick Rustin (Apache from San Carlos Reservation), and they signed pieces as \"S. Garcia, Acoma, NM,\" \"Garcia-Rustin,\" or similar. Together, they were renowned for creating some of the thinnest hand-coiled vessels possible, with delicate designs. They have since separated, so collaborative work now appears mainly through secondary market\/collections. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHer solo work often includes contemporary jars with bird wing patterns, sculpted clay elements like Kiva steps (representing birds flying over steps), and traditional motifs. Pieces are coil-built and painted with yucca brushes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antique American Indian Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45877749743781,"sku":"22-0683","price":515.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/6071\/5685\/files\/22-0683_1_451bcfa5-59cd-49cb-9003-7622d563eb0f.jpg?v=1778106259","url":"https:\/\/antiqueamericanindianart.com\/products\/22-0683-pottery-by-shawna-garcia-rustin","provider":"Antique American Indian Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
