About the Artist

Adelle Lalo Nampeyo was born in 1959, the granddaughter of Fannie Polacca Nampeyo, the great-granddaughter of the original Nampeyo (1860-1942).

This talented Hopi potter utilizes many designs: clown, butterfly, bird wings, feathers, migration, rain clouds, rain, 4 negative stars and eagle tail feathers, spirals as well as parrot beaks.

A photograph of Adelle is included in Rick Dillingham's Fourteen Families in Pueblo Pottery.
