- Summary:
- After anthropologist Spencer MacCallum bought pottery at Bob's Swap Shop in Deming, New Mexico, in 1976, he set out to find the artist. Upon meeting Juan Quezada in Mata Ortiz, Chihuahua, MacCallum encouraged Quezada to continue and refine his work. The nearly defunct Mexican town began to thrive when hundreds of others in the community became proficient as potters under the tutelage of Juan Quezada, including the younger award winning artist, Diego Valles.
