Mata Ortiz Pottery
The Village of Juan Mata Ortiz lies about 20 miles south of Nuevo Casas Grandes, Chihuahua, Mexico. Situated along the banks of the Palanganas River, this community was originally built by the Mexico Northwestern Railway Company and named after the owner Dr. Fred Stark Pearson. In 1920 the village of Pearson was then changed to Juan Mata Ortiz in honor of the local hero of the 19th century war with the Apache. There are over 300 artisans living in Mata Ortiz who make “Ollas”. The initial source for the current production of Mata Ortiz Pottery is in the Casas Grandes ceramics tradition. The shapes and designs in the artisans pottery were derived from the prehistoric Paquime styles. A local artist by the name of Juan Quezada is said to be singly responsible for the renewal of the ceramic production that has spread to other artisans in the village of Juan Mata Ortiz.
Artisans of Mata Ortiz find clay in riverbeds and hillsides in the village. There are many types of clay, such as grey, peach, white, and red clay. Each Mata Ortiz Pot is hand made without the use of a potters wheel. Pieces of Clay are put into a shallow, dish-like plaster form. Walls of the pot are hand pinched and coiled, then smoothed with a non-serrated edge of a blade. Pots are then burnished with a quartz stone and sanded before painting to achieve a smooth surface. Artists use natural paints made of pigments from minerals. Hair tipped brushes made of children’s hair are mostly use to get fine detail on their pots. Before painting, artists divide their design fields into two, three, four, or even five equal parts by making marks on the lip and base of the pot. They then paint the design outlines freehand, without use of any stencils. They then fill in spaces with a shorter, thicker brush and finally retrace the outline to sharpen the edges of the design. Pots then go through their last step which is the firing process. Each pot is pit fired with either cow manure or cottonwood bark.
The Artisan’s of Mata Ortiz create their own distinct style and can be seen in every pottery pieces. Inter Artisan brings you the exquisite pottery or Juan Mata Ortiz.

Rene Cantu Art
I display my excitement through fine art paintings to reveal the true spirit within me which comes from my Zapotec Indian heritage. the Zapotec Indians, "People from the clouds" created weavings, statuettes and architectural structures which are influenced by their belief that the Zapotec were born from the Earth, Jaguar, and the Sky.
My grandmother was a 100% Zapotec Indian and created art through dress designs and blanket weaving. She created her art by sight measurements and hand cutting. My father was a wood carver and also repaired religious statues for churches.
My heritage is translated through my paintings in oils. My works depict a direct influence of the Earth and Sky in my cultural related designs and colors.
I have been drawing and painting since an early age and have expanded my knowledge of the technical aspects of art through college instruction.
I have recently begun to share my work with the public through displays in galleries. Many of my original Cantu Paintings are currently being displayed at the Inter-Artisan Shop/Gallery in San Antonio, Texas. Inter Artisan brings you the beautiful works of art made by cultural/abstract artist Rene Cantu. Custom orders are welcomed.
