Isleta Pueblo Horsehair Tablita Bowl

Caroline Carpio


A Tiwa-speaking native of the Isleta Pueblo in New Mexico, Caroline Carpio (Tiwa name "Sun Tablita") is an extraordinary potter who has been winning awards for her work since 1982, including being selected last year as one of the Southwestern Association for Indian Arts 2000 Fellowship Receipients, a high honor which recognizes the achievement of excellence in the arts.

A potter for 18 years, Caroline graduated from the University of New Mexico in 1996 with a degree in Fine Arts. She has also studied at the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe. Caroline's contemporary style is based on traditional methods of pottery making. Her work is handcoiled from natural clays collected and processed by herself.

This exquisite piece of handcoiled and stone polished pottery measures 4 1/4 inches in height and 8 1/2 inches in diameter at its widest point. It is made in an open tablita design and Caroline has applied horsehair to the pottery while it is still hot to create this beautiful effect. The variations in color are due to the different temperatures of the pottery when she applies the horsehair.
