Artist Bio: Santa Clara Pueblo, in the Rio Grande valley north of Santa Fe, is known above all for its stone polished blackware and redware. Greg Garcia was born into that tradition in 1961, to a Santa Clara mother, Lydia Tafoya, and a father, Santiago Garcia, from Ohkay Owingeh, then called San Juan Pueblo, and he signed his work Greg Garcia, San Juan/Santa Clara. At fourteen he began learning from his grandmother, Severa Tafoya, the mother of five accomplished women potters.

He followed every traditional step: gathering and cleaning his own clay at Santa Clara, building in coils, stone polishing and firing outdoors. His pots are known for their symmetry, thin walls and high, even polish, and he favored classic Santa Clara forms such as the indented shoulder water jar, often with the bear paw impression that recalls a bear leading the people to water in a time of drought. He worked closely with his sister Tina Garcia and died in 2010. Some of these five vessels come with their original receipts.

All out-of-state buyers: we will assume your items require shipping and will coordinate it for you unless a lot is specifically marked for local pickup only or other arrangements are made with us in advance. For smaller eligible items, including jewelry, coins, sterling silver, and select small objects, we handle shipping in-house. These shipments are fully insured, require a signature, and include a $10 handling fee added to the final shipping cost. For all other items, we coordinate shipping through a local UPS Store or another appropriate third-party shipper. Once your auction invoice has been paid, the next invoice you receive will be a separate shipping invoice directly from the shipping provider. That invoice must be paid before your items are shipped. If you prefer to use your own shipper or arrange a third-party pickup, you must let us know within 2 days of the auction closing. We will coordinate release of the items once arrangements are confirmed. To help prevent fraud, shipments will only be sent to the billing address tied to the payment method unless payment is made by wire transfer and approved in advance. All items are shipped with full declared value and full insurance. Buyers are responsible for all packing, shipping, insurance, duties, taxes, and any import or export fees. International shipping is handled on a case-by-case basis and must be approved by us before bidding. Questions can be sent to bid@sebastiancharles.com
