My name is Fanor Lopez Hernandez and I am married to Candida Rosa Cano. We have 4 children.

This is how I began as a potter. When I was younger I would watch a friend of mine making the traditional ceramic jaguars. I would always admire his work but never would try it myself. One morning my friend asked if I would like to help him or learn to throw and I said yes. After learning to throw I learned to paint and decorate the pieces, fire them and do everything else needed to get them ready to sell.

After I learned how I taught my wife. She makes beautiful pieces, her specialty being butterflies, frogs, dragonflies, and turtles. We have learned to work in pre-Columbian designs, free style and contemporary designs. It has been 18 years now that I have been working in ceramics and thanks to God we have work.
