Pottery: Art and Tradition

Juan Quezada, in the northwestern part of the state of Chihuahua, has become the best pottery maker of the world, and has developed his own technique of pottery making. Following the pattern of the ancient Paquime, he has created wessels of symmetrical lines and intricate designs, duplicating the perfection of their work.

Here you will feel the spirit of an entire village which, with its magnificent pieces of pottery, has come to earn a place in the world of the pottery making.

The people of Mata Ortiz have shown an outstanding example of art, clay and tradition. Their works are without equal and a marvel to any who see them, whether in museums or in private collections.
