San Ildefenso pottery is one of the most iconic examples of Pueblo pottery, coveted by collectors around the world. Martha Appleleaf learned the art of pottery as a child from her aunts, Maria Martinez and Desideria Montoya. For 50 years, she has created distinctive pottery with traditional designs. Martha passed the tradition on to her son, Eric Fender, who creates unique and contemporary designs.
