Lloyd Studios

New Mexico


Candidate for southern New Mexico's most interesting shop. Craftsman William Lloyd fashions art out of antlers and bone, with a special focus on knives and swords. It's unlikely you'll be making any impulse purchases here, but browsing through his gallery and studio is a treat unto itself. Plus there's a whale skull on the wall.

The owner lives around back, so you can call if you want to look around when the shop isn't open.
