Jody Folwell-Turipa (born 1942, Santa Clara Pueblo, New Mexico) is a Puebloan potter and artist.

One of nine children in the Naranjo family of Santa Clara potters and other artists, Folwell is one of the best-known avant-garde Pueblo potters. Lee Cohen, the late owner of Gallery 10 in Santa Fe and Scottsdale, referred to Folwell as the "first impressionist potter" for her "innovative, off-round, uneven-lipped, asymmetrical polished pots". Folwell is known for her use of social commentary and satire in her pots.[1]

In 1984, she collaborated with Chiricahua Apache sculptor Bob Haozous to create a pot that received the Best of Show award at Santa Fe Indian Market.[2] Fowler's pots are in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of the American Indian.

Folwell has two daughters, Susan Folwell[3] and Polly Rose Folwell, who are both accomplished potters. In 2009 and 2010 the Heard Museum featured works by all three women in their Mothers & Daughters: Stories in Clay exhibition.[4] Folwell's mother, Rose Naranjo,[5] was also a respected Santa Clara potter.[2]

Of her work, Folwell has said, "I think of each piece as an artwork that has something to say on its own, a statement about life. I think of myself as being a contemporary potter and a traditionalist at the same time. Combining the two is very emotional and exciting to me."[1]
