Reynalda Quezada de Lopez learned how to make pottery from her brother, Juan. Early on in her potting career she decided she liked making blackware most and she stuck to that for more than 30 years. She often sculpted pieces in the forms of frogs or turtles, sometimes decorating her rims with rings of lizards and snakes.

Reynalda taught her son Samuel and daughters Olivia and Yolanda to make pottery, too. Following in her footsteps they also usually make blackware.
