Navajo Pottery
Susie taught Lorenzo to make Navajo pottery. They work independently, however. Lorenzo’s designs are reflective of Navajo weavings, as shown by this example. He shapes the pot with lighter a shade of clay, adds a darker slip and uses sgraffito to alter the images onhis surfaces. Lorenzo fires naturally and coats the final product with warm pinon pitch before it cools.
