When I was an elementary school librarian, one of my (many) favorite read-aloud books was "The pot that Juan built." It is a sing-song take on "The house that Jack built" that details the life and art of Juan Quezada of Mata Ortiz. You can Google it to learn more (although you may already be well aware). In any case, when we were in Santa Fe, I found a gallery that had several Juan Quezada pots. I just stood there and looked and looked and looked for the longest time, trying to fill my mind with the reality of them. How art can save a village, how a village can save an art.Liz Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03397660873950991774noreply@blogger.com
