Agnes Peynetsa
Agnes Peynetsa was introduced to pottery
making in Jennie Laate's classes at Zuni High School. Agnes later was
encouraged by
Anderson Peynetsa, her brother, and Priscilla Peynetsa, her sister. Agnes
married Berdel Soseeah, and they began macking pottery lizards or frogs.
He sands the pots, and she paints them using a traditional yucca brush.
Agnes prefers white clay. They respectfully gather clay ironstone for
their black paint at Nutria. They often go with Maria Soseeah, her mother-in
law.
