Mata Ortiz Pottery
featuring hand-built, hand-painted Native Pottery
from the Village of Mata Ortiz, a small community in the State of Chihuahua, Mexico.

The residents of the community have a tradition of pottery making that takes its inspiration from the pre-historic days of Casas Grandes. Initially rather crude , their production has now evolved into some of the most elegant and accomplished work in the field of native pottery. Virtually all are signed by the artists that create them, and there is a vital trade in these beautiful pieces, the finest of which reside in museums around the world.

Tourism to Mata Ortiz has historically been an adventurous undertaking given the infrastructure in that part of Mexico. Recently, however, a paved road has been constructed into the Village and guest accommodations are available in nearby towns or at any of three inns in Mata Ortiz.
