Sadie Adams (1905–1995), also known as "Flower Woman" or "Flower Girl," was a highly regarded Hopi-Tewa potter from the Tewa village of Hano (First Mesa) on the Hopi Reservation in Arizona. She belonged to the Kachina and Parrot Clans and was known for her versatility, technical skill, and intricate designs.
She began making pottery around the 1930s (after her husband’s death in 1937) and continued until about 1981, supporting her family—including sending her daughter Lorna Lomakema to nursing school—through her art. She was related to other notable potters like Paqua Naha (Frog Woman). Her work is coil-built using local clays, painted with natural slips and beeweed (for black), and traditionally pit-fired, often resulting in beautiful fire clouds and color variations in buff, peach, orange, red, and polychrome finishes.
