This is the only information that I was able to find on Juan Sanchez.  This quote is from a blog Nicopod blogspot.  The article describes Juan's village and workshop from the buyers perspective.  "Juan’s notable style consists of swirling geometric patterns, groups of burnt umber triangles in linear, pinwheels and bow-tie formation, intersected by sweeping arcs of deep venetian red. The graceful lines of his surface incised designs complement the varying forms of his vessels, from voluptuously bulbous to pear-shaped to slim and stately.
Juan Sanchez and his family are an example of the entrepreneurial energy that abounds in San Juan de Oriente, although the pace of production is slow and careful."
