About the Artist:
Reynaldo Quezada Celado is one of the most innovative of all the Quezada potters—and in the village at large. Reynaldo is Juan’s youngest brother and learned to pot over twenty years ago from Juan and Nicolás. He then perfected his natural talents working with his sister Consolación. He is credited with the mixing of clays called mezclado that give a marbelized appearance to the finished olla. He also pioneered the use of textured, or tejido, indentations in the damp clay that give the finished piece a “braided” look. He has become famous for black, unpainted, textured bowls called cazuelas and for pots in the shape of flying saucers with textured elements adorning the surface. His innovative work is elegant and modern in appearance. Reynaldo has spent a lot of time in the U.S. teaching and demonstrating the making of pottery. He was born in Mata Ortiz and lives in the family home in Barrio Central.
