mata ortiz pottery

updated sat 12 jan 02

 

Ed Pierce on sat 13 apr 96

To those interested in Mata Ortiz pottery -- There is a well organized
display of 40 MO potters' work at the Arizona - Sonora Desert Museum here
in Tucson. The display will be in place until 25 April. Juan Quezada and 7
or 8 others were giving demonstrations today and will do the same tomorrow.
Included in today's demo's were MO's traditional one-pot cow chip firings.

I did not know the potters were going to be there or I would have given
notice earlier. Exhibitions without potters are fairly common here.

There was some interest shown a month or so ago about travel to MO and
workshops with Juan Q. Turquoise Tours (520-625-6380) offers 3-day trips
monthly from Tucson; transportation, accommodations, meals and Paquime Ruin
fees included for $395. Karen of TT has arranged a workshop with Juan in MO
this June. It will be a week long and I believe all spaces are spoken for.
I will give my impressions when I return.

No connection with TT, let me know if you would like more info,

Dennis, Gail & others interested in Mata Ortiz:

You really should try and go to Mata Ortiz. If you love the pottery it
would thrill you to no end to visit the potters in their own homes. I've
bee three times - love it!

I also saw some this summer in Ouray, CO. It was in a gallery off the main
drag. Quite a spiffy place.
