Elizabeth "Buffy" Cordero-Suina was born to George Cordero and Kathy Cordero at Cochiti Pueblo in November, 1969. She learned to make pottery through watching and working with her father and her famous grandmother, Helen Cordero.
Early in her career, Buffy decided she wouldn't do anything new unless it came directly from the pueblo life around her: a scene, a dance, a ceremony. She was not going to make figures of tourists, circus performers, bearded ladies or mermaids like many Cochiti potters were making before she was born. She made her first figure at age 11.
