Antoinette Concha (born 1964), a Native American potter with ties to Jemez Pueblo (Water Clan) and Taos Pueblo. She began making pottery around 1976 and is the daughter of the well-known Jemez potter Alma Concha Loretto Maestas (1941–2021). Antoinette specializes in storytellers, koshares (clown figures), mudheads, nativity sets, and related figurative pottery. Her style often features matte black painted mudheads, white-on-red or black ware, attached feathers on some pieces, and minimal facial details—sometimes using only a nose to symbolize a living being.
