Mata Ortiz Pottery (Casas
Grandes)
Casas Grandes (Paquime)
is a prehistoric archeological ruin near Chihuahua, Mexico.
In the early 1970's, a Mexican railroad worker named Juan
Quezada began reproducing pottery in the authentic
traditions of Casas Grandes. Today, his pots are in the
permanent collections of the Smithsonian, and he is the
foremost living ceramic artist in Mexico. Most of Juan's
family and over 300 other households in his home village,
Mata Ortiz, now follow his path.
The pots are formed by
only the potter's hands; No pottery wheels are used. The clay is
obtained locally from around the village using pick-axes and
shovels. The paints are also natural to the area. Nothing is
store bought. The pottery is dung-fired on the ground, not in a
kiln. Lastly, each piece is signed by the artist.
Casas Grandes (Mata
Ortiz) pottery began as a revival of ancient traditions, but has
developed a distinctive artistic style all it's own.
