Patricia Baxter Shebola – Hopi/Zuni

Patricia is a graduate of Haskell Indian Nations University in Lawrence, Kansas. Upon graduation from Haskell, Patricia did two tours of duty for the National Park Service. Her first detail was at Effigy Mounds National Monument in northeast Iowa, working with and maintaining the park’s collections. Patricia’s second detail was at the National Park Service Repository in Lincoln, Nebraska, working on repatriation and the vast collections from many National Parks from the Midwest to the Pacific. While in Lincoln, she studied for a degree in Museum Studies at the University of Nebraska. In 2012, Patricia returned to Haskell to teach a semester in Traditional Native American hand building.

Additionally, Patricia has attended Haystack Mountain School of Crafts on Deer Isle, Maine, for four clay studio sessions. Her clay work is a blending of her Hopi and Zuni pottery traditions. She incorporates a mixture of traditional and contemporary shapes and designs into her work, making raffia rings for each of her bowls. All of Patricia’s pieces are one-of-a-kind, made by hand – she does not use a slab roller or wheel to “throw” any of her clay work.

Emilio & Marguerite Chavez – Santo Domingo Pueblo

• Pena Blanca, New Mexico

Emilio Chavez was born and raised by family who taught him how to hand-make turquoise grinned necklaces and slab earrings, during his teenage years in Santo Domingo Pueblo in New Mexico. After high school, he always wanted to work with metal in his jewelry making and had to go back to school at The Institute of Indian Arts Collage in Santa Fe, NM. He later met his wife Marguerite and collaborated their jewelry. They both travel extensively throughout the country to show their art at most Native American art shows and museums. For over 20 years they still enjoy working together.
