Born in 1993, Moroni Quezada is the son of potters Rito Talavera and Lydia Quezada. Juan Quezada Sr. was his uncle.

Growing up in pottery-making household, Moroni began working with clay when he was just 7. He eventually learned the entire process from his parents, including the black-on-black-on-black process that his mother made famous.

Moroni forms and paints his own pots because, in his words, "It's fun." Then he also admits to enjoying the painting part most.
