    Sedona AZ (March 16, 2017) – The Sedona Heritage Museum will host a history presentation, “meet the artist” event and pottery sale on the topic of Mata Ortiz pottery on Monday, March 27 at 11:00 a.m.

    John Bezy, geologist and co-author of “The Artistry and History of Mata Ortiz,” has worked with the potters of Mata Ortiz for over 30 years. He will offer a presentation on the history, inspiration, and appreciation of this unique regional art form.

    20160924_mata-ortiz-oraliaArtist Oralia Lopez has set the standard in Mata Ortiz for finely executed geometric pottery designs and will be available to explain her inspiration and intricate painting skills after Bezy’s talk. A selection of her and other Mata Ortiz artists’ pottery will be available for sale at prices similar to direct prices in her village.

    Mata Ortiz pottery developed in a small village in Chihuahua, Mexico, less than 100 miles from the U.S.- Mexico border. Traders from this ancient city greatly influenced the Anasazi, Hohokam, and Mogollon cultures of the Southwest. Pottery from this site was the inspiration for modern Mata Ortiz ceramics. Seen as a revival of an ancient Mesoamerican pottery tradition and based on 600-year-old processes, materials, pigments, and designs, this pottery is considered art, not craft. It has evolved from imitating pre-Hispanic designs to contemporary expressions by each individual potter or pottery family who produce distinctive individualized ware.

    This is a free event held in the Historic Jordan Packing Shed and is open to the public.

    The Museum is located at 735 Jordan Road in Jordan Historical Park in Uptown Sedona and is open daily from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. For more information, call 928‑282‑7038, sedonamuseum.org

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
