 Foreword Dear,
welcome onto my website. I would like to share a secret with you about a real treasure. I will tell you the hardly unrevealed story about Paquime Pottery. World class ceramic pottery out of a small local North-Mexican mountain village and inspired by one man. A railroad worker. A village which counts barely 2,000 inhabitants containing 400 artists ! The highest density on artists per area on earth.
Elegant Pottery as thin as bone china and painted with extraordinary precision. Each pot (“olla”) is a one-of-a-kind piece and hand-built without the use of a potterswheel. The hair of children is used to make the paint brushes and the firing is done in the back yard with wood and cow dung as the fuel.
It is my personal objective to bring the art of Paquime Pottery overseas in order to bridge the gap between North-America and Germany, Europe. I feel priviliged and excited to give you the opportunity to discover this new art movement together with me and I invite you to visit the Galeria de Arte in Nesselwang. In this international and idyllic environment, surrounded by lake and mountains, you can watch the extraordinary and beautiful art of Paquime Pottery in all its different and elegant shapes, dynamic and detailled designs and strong colors, yourself.
See you in Nesselwang.
Best regards,
Drs.-Ing Patrick GEURTS
