Bear Paw
Margaret Tafoya, was the matriarch of of Santa Clara Potters. She learned
to pot from her mother, Sara Fina, a master of large black ware and red ware
storage jars with a highly-polished finish. She collaborated with her mother
until her death in 1949, and then carried on making black and red wares and
polychrome red ware. She worked in the traditional style. As time went on,
she experimented, producing thinner, lighter pots, with increasingly graceful
forms. Her stone polish became more lustrous and mirror-like.
By the beginning of the 20th century, Sara Fina was the first Santa Clara potter
to combine the utilitarian form of her large storage jars with simple yet
elegant non-functional designs. She began the use of an imprinted bear paw on
her pieces which Margaret has used extensively on storage jars, water jars,
and bowls for decades. The bear paw is a symbol of good luck for Santa Clarans,
for the bear always knows where to find water. It has become the hallmark of
Tafoya pottery.
