The Inspiration for Mata Ortiz pottery is taken from the ancient Casas Grandes tradition. The renaissance of this beautiful pottery began in the early 1960's, following the Amerind Foundation's excavation of the nearby Paquime ruins in 1958. Until that time there was little interest in the antiquities of the area. After the excavation, however, a new awareness developed. Casas Grandes pottery is made with clay from the mountains high above the village of Mata Ortiz, painted with human hair brushes and natural pigments (minerals and roots of plants). It is hand-formed, without the use of a potter's wheel, and dung fired. Each intricate line has been hand-painted. Each pot features beautiful workmanship and a high gloss, stone polished finish.
