Mata Ortiz Ceramics Masterclass with José Luis and Ana Pena

In this four-day workshop, you will learn pre-Colombian and contemporary pottery techniques. Mata Ortiz pottery is based on the prehistoric Paquimé techniques found at the Casas Grandes World Heritage Site in the state of Chihuahua.

In this workshop you will be hand building a pre-Columbian style pot from your own hand-made single piece mold. Pots will be finished using Mata Ortiz glazes and hand-made brushes. Pots will be fired on location. All materials, clay, plaster, brushes, glazes are supplied. No experience necessary.
