Jacob
( Jake ) Koopee Nampeyo is a young Hopi potter with exceptional
talent. Born in 1970, he is the
great-great grandson of Nampeyo; grandson of Marie Koopee, and son of Jacob
Koopee, Sr. (Tewa) and Georgia Dewakuku Koopee. His teachers include his aunt
Dextra Quotskuyva. It was she who
inspired him to incorporate sikyaki designs found on old sherds into his pieces. He has added roundels with innovative clown and Kachina
faces.
His very large hand coiled, pit fired pieces as well as his delicate
miniatures are highly prized and have won him many awards including the Best of Show at the Fountain
Hills Indian Market.
