Juan rediscovered local clays, pigments, coil-building methods (no wheel), stone polishing, and outdoor firing (often with dung or bark) by studying ancient sherds. He taught family members, including Jesús, Nicolás, Reynaldo, Lydia, Rosa, Reynalda, Consolación, and Genoveva. This launched the modern Mata Ortiz movement; hundreds of families in the village now make pottery as a primary livelihood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antique American Indian Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50719814746277,"sku":"260929-31","price":910.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/6071\/5685\/files\/260929-31_3.jpg?v=1792606148","url":"https:\/\/antiqueamericanindianart.com\/products\/mexico-blackware-effigy-pottery-by-jesus-quezada","provider":"Antique American Indian Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
