Carol Grace Loretto (also known as Caroline Loretto or Carol G. Loretto), a respected contemporary potter from Jemez Pueblo (Walatowa) in New Mexico.
Born in 1953, she has been creating pottery since 1977. She learned traditional techniques from her mother, Cecelia Loretto, and comes from a prominent family of potters—her sister is the acclaimed Geraldine Sandia, and her grandmother was Lupe Aragon from Acoma Pueblo. Her work appears in books like Southern Pueblo Pottery: 2000 Artist Biographies by Greg Schaaf and Southwestern Pottery: Anasazi to Zuni by Al Hayes and John Blom.
Jemez Pueblo pottery blends tan and red clays with stone-polished and matte finishes, often featuring painted or etched geometric designs inspired by nature (clouds, rain, feathers, kiva steps, whirlwinds). Revived in the 20th century with influences from neighboring Zia Pueblo, it emphasizes deep polishing and fine painting—hallmarks of Loretto's style.
