Luorong Yapi was born and raised in Tibet. During his childhood he was a shepherd attending his flocks in the high mountains of Tibet. In his teens, Luorong Yapi apprenticed with local Tibetan master stonemasons.

In 2004, Yapi came to the USA and has worked as a stonemason with other Tibetan craftsmen, honing his artistry building many stone walls, steps and patios. Luorong’s approach to stonework combines both the ancient traditional aspects of Tibetan stonemasonry with more modern western European techniques of tile-laying and design.

Yapi has more than seventeen years experience in the design and crafting of traditional Tibetan stone walls, steps, and patios, painting, brick work, tile work and flooring as well as chimney repair and construction. He also enjoys landscaping and, especially, the harmonized integration of stone work within a natural landscape environment.
