She was taught to make the Navajo pine pitch pottery by her mother, Rose Williams, who continued to make pottery into her late 80's. Susie has 2 sisters, Alice Cling and Sue Williams, who also make the pine pitch pottery. All her pots are hand coiled and covered with pine sap which gives the pot a very rough look. She then takes a smooth stone and burnishes the entire pot as many as 10-15 times to smooth it out and give it a beautiful finish. The dark areas on the pot are from firing the pot.
