This film follows AMOCA founder David W. Armstrong into the high plains of Chihuahua, Mexico. His destination: the legendary village of Mata Ortiz, home of over 400 ceramic artists working below the snow-capped mountains that provide a source of clay and minerals for glazes. The same mountains where, as a young boy, artist Juan Quezada discovered pottery shards from the Casa Grandes Indians and was inspired to reinvent their ceramic techniques.
The Mata Ortiz Pottery Phenomenon features the history, the economic challenges, and the contemporary artistic innovations of the Mata Ortiz ceramic community while providing a close look at clay gathering, pottery construction, painting and firing. 60 Min.
