Frederica's
work is truly outstanding and she is at the very top of the Acoma
eye dazzler, fine line motif artists. This pot is not that large
but we chose it for excellence of design execution, shape and
very thin walls. Frederica and Melissa's work has become the standard
by which other eye dazzler pots can be measured. Frederica's work
has grown appreciatively in value and demand over the last four
years.

generation. When I work with my pottery clay, it is something
 special
to me. I can create new shapes

brings
great pride to me and my
family to see
my artwork in galleries and in people's homes." "Southern
