Juan Quezada

From Native American Information Superhighway Alltribes™ Wiki

Mata Ortiz potter Juan Quezada created a revolution of Mata Ortiz Pottery in the late sixties and early seventies by bringing ancient southwestern Mesoamerican Mata Ortiz Pottery traditions into the modern age. Inspired by pottery from the ancient city of Paquimé, modern Mata Ortiz potters are producing work for national and international sale. Now, Mata Ortiz Pottery or Casas Grandes pottery from the Casas Grandes region of Mexico is some of the most sought after pottery in the world.
