Alfred Aguilar

Alfred Aguilar (born 1933), also called Sa Wa Pin, is Tewa Pueblo-American potter, ceramicist, and painter from the San Ildefonso Pueblo tribe. He is known for his coil-built pottery that is carved or painted, his buffalo figurines, and his clay nacimientos.

He has used the moniker Aguilar Indian Arts in Santa Fe, New Mexico as a signifier of his work.

He has been a teacher's aide and classroom instructor at the San Ildefonso pueblo and operates a store on the pueblo.

Aguilar is the son of artists José Angela Aguilar and Rosalie Simbola, both potters. His brother José Vicente Aguilar was a painter as well.
