About Daniel Chattin and Jovanna Poblano
Their jewelry is the highest quality. Daniel Chattin carves the fetishes… the designs are a Chattin Poblano collaboration. Daniel learned from the Quandelacy family, in particular Stuart, Sandra and Faye. However, there is a quality… a feeling to Daniel’s work that make them his own.
Beyond simply knowing how to carve stone on a grinding wheel, some Zuni carvers
turn craft into art. A true Zuni artist can see inside the stone… see what does
not appear on the surface… see what is under the stone’s surface. Or, then again, maybe a Zuni can will the stone to the patterns and color he wishes.
Jovanna Poblano, Daniel’s wife, also designs and strings the necklaces.
She has a wonderful sense of fashion and her combinations of color is unsurpassed.
Veronica Poblano, Jovanna’s mother, is a famous Zuni jeweler in her own right.
Leo Poblano, Veronica’s father, was a Zuni Innovator. He was an early Zuni
stone carver / silversmith master. His work was highly regarded by CG Wallace.
Collector’s today eagerly greet Leo Poblano finds.
