Lloyd Yepa
 The Yepa family is a long established Jemez family of potters.

Although Lloyd Yepa is relatively new on the scene,
he is quickly making his mark.  His beautiful pottery
 is well executed and artistically exciting with
its balanced designs and colors.

Lloyd often uses micaceous clay and as a result,
 his pottery flashes in sunlight as if filled with tiny diamonds.
Another aspect of Lloyds pottery worth noting is his
 polishing technique. Often, his pottery
 will appear to be fine wood.
