About Mata Ortiz

Internationally renowned artisans from the heart of Chihuahua, Mexico are coming to Old Town Artisan Studios! Inspired by the ancient pottery of Paquimé, artist Juan Quezada revived a lost art form and sparked a cultural renaissance in Mata Ortiz, Chihuahua. Today, artisans continue his legacy—hand-coiling, painting, and firing each piece by hand to honor the spirit of their ancestors while shaping the future of contemporary Mexican ceramics.
