Lorenzo Coriz — Kewa Silversmith
Name-card placeholder — hallmark imagery to follow. © Turquoise Skies Inc.
Lorenzo Coriz (born 1946) is a Kewa (Santo Domingo Pueblo) silversmith active since the 1970s. The Hougart record documents his work in nugget work and claw- and rope-appliqué — techniques that involve attaching three-dimensional silver elements such as twisted rope wire and shaped claw forms onto the surface of a piece.
Lorenzo Coriz is the father of Aaron Coriz. His career spans several decades of Kewa silversmithing, and his use of appliqué techniques reflects a tradition of surface ornamentation associated with Santo Domingo jewelry makers.
