Six Generations of Native American Pride

Reginald Mitchell and his son Bronson, Navajo/Dine, are fifth and sixth generation sand and tufa casters. Reginald, Bitter Water born for Salt Clan, grew up in the heart of the Navajo Nation and was introduced as a boy to traditional Navajo metalworking by his father, master silversmith Eugene Mitchell. He has now established himself as one of the only remaining artists to use these hand techniques. Bronson, Red Streak Earth born for Bitter Water Clan, has developed a style that incorporates the artistry and technical mastery of his forefathers with a modern aesthetic, which comes through in his fresh, unique designs.
