Frederica Antonio began making pottery at age 18. Antonio was inspired to continue her family’s pottery tradition by her mother-in-law, Mildred Antonio, who taught her all the fundamentals. Specializing in contemporary hand-coiled pottery with hand-painted, intricate designs that dazzle the eye, Antonio uses multiple colors, creating an interesting three-dimensional effect. Like the pottery in Painted Reflections, her intricate designs engage the viewer. Antonio will demonstrate the striking painting techniques of her innovative Acoma style.
