Mata Ortiz Pottery
Mata Ortiz
In a remote river valley on the plains of Northern Mexico, a remarkable ceramic arts revival is taking place. There in the village of Mata Ortiz, master potter Juan Quezada, inspired by ancient potsherds,
is leading a renaissance of the region's native art tradition.
The contemporary work which parallels the art of indigenous ceramists to the north, the Hopi, Zuni, Acoma Indians and others, has come to be known as Mata Ortiz Pottery.
