Dianna Tahbo (also spelled Diana Tahbo in some sources) was a respected Hopi-Tewa potter from the Hopi Pueblo in Arizona. Born around 1960 (with some records listing 1941, though 1960 appears more consistent across gallery sources) and passing away in 2011, she was part of a prominent pottery-making family.
She was the sister of the well-known Hopi potter Mark Tahbo (1958–2017), and both were influenced by their great-great-grandmother, the legendary potter Grace Chapella (of the Chapella/Tahbo lineage). Dianna learned pottery-making techniques from her brother Mark and began producing work around 1980. She was known for creating traditional Hopi polychrome pottery—hand-coiled vessels using natural clays, vegetal and mineral paints, and outdoor firing methods—often featuring intricate designs inspired by ancient Sikyatki revival styles.
