    Artist Oralia Lopeza has set the standard in Mata Ortiz for finely executed geometric pottery designs and will be demonstrating her intricate painting skills. Some of her pottery will be available for sale at prices similar to direct prices in her village.

    20151104_Oralia-mata-ortiz-2John Bezy, geologist and co-author of “The Artistry and History of Mata Ortiz” has worked with the potters of Mata Ortiz for nearly 30 years. He will offer a presentation on the history, inspiration and appreciation of this unique regional art form.

    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 and 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.

    Sedona is known throughout the world as a spiritual destination point where the land and those who live upon it march to the beat of a different drummer. Compassion. Love. Inclusivity and enlightenment are pillars upon which this community is sustained. Yet, something happened a few days ago that made me question if this is really true. I was at dinner at a local restaurant with a fellow community resident, whom I had always thought to be one of the most compassionate people in Sedona. Quite off-handedly my friend asked me how I felt about a city plan to provide safe parking for people who work in Sedona but have to live in their vehicles because they cannot afford the rent to live here, or even in Cottonwood. I said I thought it was a great idea and my friend’s expression went from calmness to shock. “I can’t believe you are telling me that with a straight face,” he gasped, as he dropped his fork on the table. “Do you know what you are saying.” Read more→
