My friend, Toby, is a 60 year old and vision impaired but making and firing
blackware pottery. He has become interested in the pottery of Mata Ortiz
and is determined to visit Mata Ortiz regardless of potential obstacles. He
cannot drive, has determined that traveling with a guide would be too
expensive for him, hitchhiking seemed a possibility but might be too risky
and he is not interested in taking a class. He could stay in one of the two
guest houses (posada) and feels he could get around Mata Ortiz on his own
if he could just get there. The question now is this: Does anyone know of
someone traveling to Mata Ortiz in the near future that would be willing to
take Toby along as a passenger ? It would be easy for Toby to meet someone
in Tucson AZ.

If you have thoughts, suggestions or possibilities please contact Toby at
this email address:
And for those of you who do contact Toby I offer my thanks in advance.
