Material Insight

Introduction: I provide the only commercial use of Helmut Schweppe's dye standards that he provided to the Smithsonian Institute and the J. Paul Getty Institute. I have developed original conservation techniques using conservation grade reversible materials and inorganic pigments that do not fade to restore and conserve the best quality ceramics. I have restored Margaret Tafoya and Serafina Tofoya storage jars that won Tribal Awards for their grandson Nathan Youngblood. Maria Martinez pottery restoration is frequently referred to me by other pottery restoration people, because they can not achieve the level of "I can't tell where it was restored" look when finished, but I can.
