Antoinette Silas (also known as Antoinette Silas Honie) is a renowned Hopi-Tewa potter from the Hopi Reservation in northeastern Arizona, specifically associated with the Tewa Village on First Mesa. She belongs to the Kachina and Parrot Clan and has been creating traditional pottery since the age of 15.
She learned the craft from her mother, Roberta Youvella Silas (1939–2009), a noted potter who was influenced by Helen Naha (Feather Woman). Antoinette comes from a family of potters, including siblings like Jofern Puffer and Verona Silas.
Her work revives ancient Sikyatki-style designs, inspired by pottery shards from the Sikyatki ruins.
