Natalie Sandia (often signed as N. Sandia) is a contemporary potter from Jemez Pueblo (also known as Walatowa) in New Mexico. She creates traditional hand-coiled pottery using natural clays gathered locally around the pueblo. She learned the craft by watching her mother and has been potting for over 15 years (as of recent profiles). Her pieces are typically signed “N. Sandia, Jemez” on the bottom.
