Carmelita was raised by her aunt, Maria Martinez, and was immersed in the world of pottery making. Martha has been an active potter since 1970, and has passed the art on to her son, Erik Fender. She continues to do both black on black and classic red pottery. She has won numerous awards for her craft, including 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Place ribbons at Santa Fe Indian Market.
