Mata Ortiz Potter Show & Sale

Mata Ortiz Show & Sale
Featuring Master Potter Oralia Lopez
Friday, November 28th through Sunday, November 30th
10 am – 4 pm

Come out and meet the incredible artist from Mata Ortiz, Oralia Lopez. Watch her work and see all her beautiful new pottery creations. Oralia is a second-generation potter from Mata Ortiz, northern Chihuahua, Mexico who learned to make pottery from her mother and older sister. She continues to make pottery using traditional methods using locally derived mineral paints and white clay from the area. Her designs were inspired by prehistoric pottery shards found near Paquimé. Oralia is known for her incredibly intricate geometric designs and fine line work making her one of the top potters from Mata Ortiz. She has shown her work all over the US and her pottery resides in some of the top Museum across the country such as the International Folk Art Museum in Santa Fe, New Mexico and the Mingei International Museum in San Diego, California.

We hope you take the opportunity to come out and meet Oralia and see her incredible work. Along with Oralia’s work you will see work from a select group of other potters from Mata Ortiz.
