From September 18-21, 2024 White Bear Center for the Arts’ Community Studio will be lined with beautifully intricate pottery from Mata Ortiz, Mexico during a four-day sales event. With earth-toned glazes and strong geometric lines, Mata Ortiz pottery is recognized and sought after, worldwide.
Mata Ortiz pottery is a unique style of ceramic art based on pottery found at the archaeological site of Casas Grandes in the Mexican state of Chihuahua. Artists from the town of Mata Ortiz, led in the 1970s by Juan Quezada Celado, used that ancient artwork as a starting point, and have since developed their own unique look sought after by art collectors worldwide.
