Yolanda Trujillo is a respected Acoma Pueblo potter known for traditional hand-coiled seed jars/pots using ancient methods.

She began learning pottery at age 8 by helping her mother, Becky Pasquale, and credits her grandmother and aunts for teaching traditional techniques. She has been potting for over 30 years (as of biographies from around 2016).

She is a traditionalist: she gathers and processes her own clay (often mixing in minerals or old pottery shards), uses the coil-and-scrape method, makes natural paints from organic materials, and fires the pieces traditionally.
