A conversation with Juan Quezadas at Mata Ortiz

I was traveling with Eric and Karen- theTrans Ameicas Journey people and we had the chance to sit down with Juan Quezada, the famous potter of Mata Ortiz. It was fascinating discussion about the origins of the family based pottery works.

Check out this video and the pics below.

I get a chance to meet and visit with the master potter.

Juan Quezada was a funny, thoughtful, down-to-earth guy
