She comes from a prominent pottery family: daughter of the late potter Ursulita Naranjo, sister of miniaturist Geri Naranjo, and mother of Ursula Curran, who has carried on the tradition of fine miniatures. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShe began making pottery at a young age and is celebrated for her intricate miniature works, though she also creates larger pieces. Her techniques follow traditional Pueblo methods: hand-coiled, carved or incised (often with sgraffito influences from her late husband Alvin Curran), slipped with various clays for tonal effects, stone-polished, and fired outdoors in a traditional reduction firing for blackware. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antique American Indian Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47719406239909,"sku":"130629-08A","price":315.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/6071\/5685\/files\/130629-08A_2.jpg?v=1776281357","url":"https:\/\/antiqueamericanindianart.com\/products\/santa-clara-pueblo-black-on-black-miniature-pottery-by-dolores-curran","provider":"Antique American Indian Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
