mata ortiz pottery

Description

A chance to get one of the premier potters(Efrain Lucero).
Mata Ortiz pottery pieces are made for their aesthetic value and use pre Hispanic pottery only as inspiration, not as a means of continuing a folk-art tradition.
Efrain Lucero is a potter in Mata Ortiz. He learned how to make pots in the late 1980's from Juan Andrew, his brother-in-law. These days he mostly produces polychrome pottery using a graphite black clay body in modern shapes and old Paquimé and Mimbres designs.
