Judy Ortiz is a contemporary potter from Acoma Pueblo (also known as Sky City), New Mexico, known for traditional hand-coiled pottery, including distinctive turtle figures.
She learned the craft from her mother, the acclaimed Acoma potter Evelyn Ortiz (born 1938), who has been active since the 1950s and is known for polychrome jars, bowls, and fine-line designs. Judy continues family traditions using natural clays, slips, and pigments, hand-coiling pieces and firing them traditionally.
