Polly Rose Folwell (b. December 28, 1962 Santa Clara Pueblo) (Santa Clara Pueblo), daughter of Jody Folwell and sister of Susan Folwell, makes use of traditional pottery methods to provide the pot forms on which she places designs that are carved, etched and painted upon the surface of the clay. Her prize-winning pot, Best of Pottery in the 2003 Heard Museum Guild Indian Art Fair & Market, was a technical masterpiece of contemporary pottery that uniquely portrayed a powerful theme - the tragedy of 9-11. In bold sgrafitto carving, she depicted the split second before the planes crashed into the World Trade Center.
Polly Rose is the granddaughter of Rose Naranjo, niece of Dr. Rina Swentzell, Dr. Tessie Naranjo, Professor Tito Naranjo, sculptors Michael Naranjo and Nora Naranjo-Morse and potters Dolly Naranjo and Edna Romero.
