View Video White Swann Noted Hopi potter — April 24, 2008

Dollie Navasie, is the daughter of the renowned Hopi potter Eunice "Fawn" Navasie. Her Hopi name, by which she is widely known in the art world, is White Swann.

Dollie grew up in the Antelope Mesa area of the Hopi reservation, near Keams Canyon, and learned the art of pottery making at an early age. She watched her mother and was allowed to play in the clay, making her first crude pots as a toddler. As the niece of another well-known potter, Frogwoman, Dollie has the blood of many talented generations flowing through her veins.

Dollie shows at all the major venues throughout the Southwest and consistently does well. Sooyeon Lee takes us to the Hopi reservation.
