Biography
Fannie Nampeyo (1900-1987) was the youngest daughter of noted potter Nampeyo of Hano and noted potters Iris Nampeyo, Leah Nampeyo, and Thomas Polacca. She was certainly among the most skilled of her generation in painted designs on pottery. While her mother revived the “migration” or bird wing design, Fannie made it a signature design of her own work and the Nampeyo family. Fannie’s pottery can be found in museums worldwide, along with information in books such as “Nampeyo: The Legacy of a Master Potter.”
