Dear ClayArt:
From: Kurt Wild (University of Wiscosin, River Falls (retired)

Does anyone on the net know how to find Red Ochre?.
Does anyone on the net know the true details of the use of graphite and red
ochre (proportions) and mix of water and kerosene (proportions) of the Mata
Ortiz potters and their blackware pottery?

Are there any magazine articles, or other publications available?
I would like to know more about this subject...

Has anyone taken a workshop from Juan Quezada? and seen the process.

We are not interested in SW Blackware, or San Ildefanso...Only Mata Ortiz.

I am dying to know more on this subject...can anyone help?

Please answer on the net, or write to Mel Jacobson
