Biography
Sahmie is Navajo and was born in 1960 outside of Pine Springs, Arizona.[2] She married a Hopi man, Andrew "Louie" Sahmie, and moved to the Hopi reservation.[2] She learned pottery making from her mother in law, Priscilla Namingha.[2] Sahmie began to sell her pottery in the 1980s.[3]
Work
The shape of the pottery that Sahmie makes is based on Hopi traditions and incorporates traditional Navajo designs and iconography, such as Yei designs.[3] Sahmie prefers to use clay mined from the Navajo reservation and uses white and yellow clay in the body of the pots.[2] Black slip is created by adding wild spinach to the mixture.[2] Pots are fired outdoors using traditional methods.[2]
Sahmie has work in the Smithsonian American Art Museum,[1] and the Wheelwright Museum of the American Indian.[2]
