The family supplemented income with pottery; they used readily available micaceous clay (sparkling with mica flakes), producing pieces in natural buff\/golden tones or black.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display: none; mso-hide: all;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWhile many siblings (e.g., Rina Swentzell, Jody Folwell, Nora Naranjo-Morse) became prominent artists, Edna pursued education at Baylor University and a long career as a teacher, principal, and Bureau of Indian Affairs consultant. She began making pottery more seriously around 1984 after her mother encouraged her. Her husband and family helped with clay preparation and firing. She retired from education in 1991 and focused more on pottery.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antique American Indian Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47951743090853,"sku":"22-1227","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/6071\/5685\/files\/22-1227_3.jpg?v=1782697796","url":"https:\/\/antiqueamericanindianart.com\/products\/taos-pueblo-pottery-turtle-by-edna-romero","provider":"Antique American Indian Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
