Born in February 1987, Adrian Corona learned how to make pottery from his mother, Ana Trillo, starting when he was about 15 years old. In 2010 he earned a First Prize ribbon at the Concorso National de la Ceramica in Tlaquepaque, Mexico. He also earned a First Prize ribbon that year for New Design.

Adrian loves to travel and says he's gotten a lot of his inspiration from Egypt and from the Mayas. He works on all sizes of pots but his favorite designs include birds and animals. A lot of his work after 2017 included sgraffito black bats with Venus flytraps in a nature motif. More recently he's been doing more polychrome art and has moved into aquarium-like settings with multiple colored fish.

As with most potters, we asked Adrian about how long it takes him to complete a pot. Adrian said it usually takes him about 10 days to finish each piece.
