Nampeyo of Hano (1859–1942) was a pivotal figure in the revival of Hopi pottery, known for her Sikyatki Revival style, which drew inspiration from ancient Hopi and protohistoric pottery designs, particularly from the 15th-century Sikyátki ruins. Her work transformed pottery from a utilitarian craft into a recognized art form, earning her international acclaim.
Nampeyo used traditional Tewa and Hopi methods, such as coiling, smoothing with plants, and firing with sheep bones to achieve a whiter finish. She incorporated up to five types of clay in her creations, unlike the typical two, and painted intricate designs inspired by Sikyátki pottery, such as the "migration pattern" with feather and bird-claw motifs. Her pottery often featured wide, low-shouldered jars, tall vases, and flattened "flying saucer" shapes.
