Mata Ortiz Potters…Rosa Gaona

Once again as we got ready to move on through Mata Ortiz in search of pots,several potters showed up with their wares. One interesting and gratifying aspect of the local culture is that they don’t seem to compete that much. There is an openness to others selling their wares on your doorstep or even right there in your studio. Very refreshing.

So Rosa Gaona pulled up and spread out her treasures – a variety of graphite and typically painted pots. Very nice work.
