INDIVIDUAL MATA ORTIZ POTTERY

Adrian Corona Trillo Bowl with Stand Mata Ortiz Pottery Adrian Corona Adrian Corona is a potter living and working in the village of Mata Ortiz in Chihuahua, Mexico. He seems to like creating his designs using the sgraffito method on slips of various colors covering a white body pot. Born in 1987, Adrian learned to make pottery from his mother, Ana Trillo, beginning when he was 15. They still sometimes collaborate. Adrian earned a First Place ribbon at the 2010 Concorso Nacional de la Ceramica in Tlaquepaque, Mexico. He also earned a First Place ribbon that year for New Design. A couple years later he earned the Presidente award at Tlaquepaque. Since 2017 most of Adrian's work has revolved around bats, sgraffito black bats in a nature motif on a white clay body. The design is his and it's worked out very well for him. Since earning a few more ribbons at the Annual Tlaquepaque Concurso, Adrian has been traveling the world, demonstrating his techniques and learning new ones. He passes through Santa Fe regularly, last time I saw him I even got to meet his mom (great people, very down to Earth). He told me a lot of his inspiration comes from Egyptian and Mayan artwork. With all the competition in Mata Ortiz, he's been pushed to find a niche that works for him. The bat designs have done that nicely and he's been developing different versions of it to branch into.
