If you aren't familiar with their fetishes, just open any book about Zuni fetish carvings and their names will be prominent! They were the first carvers in Zuni to use "slag" and Murano glass as carving material and they both continue to push the edge of creativity in their carvings while at the same time remaining very traditional. Lena will also bring some of her sister and brother-in-law's carvings (Dinah and Peter Gasper). Phone: (510) 528-9038
