Spencer McCallum discovered the Pottery of the town of Mata Ortiz , Mexico , a small town located near the ancient Paquime ruins in Chihuahua state. In 1976, McCallum discovered Juan Quezada, who soon became the leader of this now-thriving pottery movement. Quickly earning acceptance as a contemporary art form, his simple pottery is accepted and admired as a legitimate Folk Art . To this day, McCallum plays a key role in the events of Mata Ortiz. McCallum is the author of many articles on Mata Ortiz, as well as introduction to the book, ''Portraits of Clay: Potters of Mata Ortiz''. Recently (2005-6), he has been instrumental in editing and publishing the book "The Law of the Somalis" by Michael van Notten. It deals with the foundations of private law in the stateless Somali society. External links
