About the artist:

John Yazzie - Navajo Jeweler
John moved to the Bluff area in 1986. As a young man, he watched friends create jewelry and fell in love with the process. He was making silver jewelry on his own when he went to work for the Navajo Arts and Crafts Cooperative. He was mentored by Howard Begay, Tom Hosteen and Richard Livingston. Howard showed him how to deal with heavier silver, both wire and sheets. He taught him to use proper dimension as a weapon in creating good structure.
