The Paquime Culture occupied regions of Northern Mexico 1000 years ago. They were the originators of hand coiled pottery there. Now their descendants have continued this art form in both structure and design.
Artist Tut Ortiz is the creator of this simple round pottery with the complex designs. Round like the gourds that grow in the summer, this is made from the native white clay that surrounds the village. A white glaze base has been applied to the outside. Then Señor Ortiz applies sophisticated and eye bending hand painted detail in black and brick red glaze.
Everything is created by hand; the colors from local minerals and paints, the tools and brushes, and the wood burning ovens for firing the pottery. With all materials local, the pottery coming out of the artist colony is unique and one-of-a-kind, and is the finest ceramic work of all of Latin America.
