** OT ** Um, they've never heard of google? Putting - Mata Ortiz near Casa Grande - in google brings up a whole big list of sites. Hey, it's Tony Burton's do it yourself tours, http://www.mexconnect.com/mex_/travel/tonysarticles/tbchihua1.html It's even got a map.
But then you scroll down an click on the link for Mata Oritz, http://www.mexconnect.com/mex_/travel/mwilliams/mwmataortizindex.html That gives you a page with a whole bunch of articles on Mata Oritz and it's people written by Michael Allan Williams. I would just email him, mataort@elp.rr.com He probably knows exactly how to get there since he has done a thesis on it. Is the internet cool or what. Yeah I know, I spend all day and sometimes half the night on the internet, and still forget, if it ain't on the internet, it don't exsist. <g>
His thesis, La Lucha del Barro: The Potters of Mata Ortíz, was the first anthropological work done in the village. Now, Mike bases himself in El Paso, promoting the potters, the village and leading group tours into the area of Northern Chihuahua.
Zeev...OT...Sorry I didn't address my earlier post to you. To get to Mata Ortiz, drive to Casas Grande and then to the town of Colonia Juarez on paved road. There are lots of english speaking mormons there in Colonia Juarez that can give directions. From there, drive 12 kilometers southeast to the small village of San Diego. Then drive about 13 kilometers south along the railroad tracks to the town of Mata Ortiz. Hope this helps. Thanks for all your generous help with the market! Rupestrian
