Description

Both Martha Appleleaf and Erik Fender are deeply rooted in the collaborative spirit of San Ildefonso pottery, a tradition exemplified by their family’s history of working together. Their connection to Maria Martinez, one of the most famous Native American potters of the 20th century, is a source of pride and responsibility. Martinez, along with her husband Julian, revolutionized San Ildefonso pottery by reviving the black-on-black style around 1920, transforming it from utilitarian craft to collectible art. Appleleaf and Fender continue this legacy, balancing tradition with innovation.
