From Eyes of the pot
Joy Hope Navasie/Yellow Flower was the 2nd Frogwoman, daughter of Paqua Naha (Frogwoman).
Like her legendary fore-bearer Joy continued to produce the classic poly-chrome on white clay slip vessels her mother developed that have become a Navasie family trademark.
White ware pottery is a delicate art requiring skillful hands. Once the pottery has been formed and polished, a thin layer of white clay slip is applied to the entire surface. Then the beautiful designs are painstakingly laid down by hand. Any error requires the pottery to be entirely washed clean of the white clay matte, and the artist must begin again.
The firing process takes great care, too.

Joy Navasie, Frog Woman, Hopi Pueblo Potter
Artist Joy Navasie was among the most famous and talented of Hopi-Tewa potters.
Joy Navasie (1919 - 2012) second
Frog Woman - Yellow Flower
learned the skill of making pottery from her famous mother, Paqua Naha, the first Frog Woman. Joy was born in 1919 and recalls that she started making pottery when she was about 17 years old. Paqua Naha, just a few years before she passed away, developed the white ware pottery style in the mid-1950s. Joy Navasie picked up the tradition and continued it until her retirement in 1995.
Now, her daughters (Marianne Navasie, Leona Navasie, Natelle Lee, Loretta Navasie Koshiway and Grace Lomahquahu) have continued the tradition. Joy Navasie signed her pottery with a frog hallmark, as did her mother.
