Agnes Peynetsa has been an
active Zuni potter since 1984 working with white ware and polychrome
jars, cornmeal bowls, frog and lizard effigies, seedpots, canteens
and miniatures. She is a very talented lady and sister to Anderson
Peynetsa and Priscilla Peynetsa. She was taught to make traditional
Zuni pueblo pottery by her siblings and by Jeannie Laate.
She harvests her own clay,
molds her work by hand, and makes her own paint. Agnes lives
on the south side of the Pueblo with her husband, who helps her
in her work.
