Arturo Holguin

Mata Ortiz

Arturo Holguin is a potter from the village of Mata Ortiz. There's not much info available about him but I did come across a dealer who says on their website his full name is "Arturo Holguin Quezada". I don't know. I do know there are a lot folks in Chihuahua whose name has Quezada somewhere in it. Not all of them are related to the famous Juan Quezada from Mata Ortiz.
