Julian and Kelly Coriz have been together for about 18 years, living in Santo Domingo Pueblo. Their work is unique and every piece is a joint family work. Julian analyzes the stones, he picks, slices and arranges pieces until an initial idea of the design is reached. Then, Kelly and the girls start the work. Sand, Danielle and Desiree string and polish. Nayda, the youngest sister, is starting to help and learning how to string. Kelly obtained a degree in early child development last year at the Southwestern Indian Polytech Institute. She plans to work soon. Julian Coriz started at the early age of ten, when his uncle, the famous artist Martin Lovato, taught him the secrets of this wonderful craft.
