Mata Ortiz Pottery

An interview with the grand master and mentor Juan Quezadas at his studio in Mata Ortiz.

This stuff is beyond compare- I am a convert though not really a “pottery person”.

The colors, the shapes, the local flavor…amazing.

The Mata Ortiz pots are made 100% by locals...mostly in their homes in this dusty little town.

A great source for Mata Ortiz pottery is this new site…just new so be patient!
