She will be demonstrating the intricate technique used to paint Mata Ortiz pottery and will have a wonderful selection of work by many other fine Mata Ortiz artists for purchase at reasonable prices. Mata Ortiz pottery is internationally known for its elegant forms, precision designs, and beautiful colors.
