SHARDS AND SANTOS
Join me in Taos on November 1 and 8 for a wonderful workshop - In this workshop, we will create personal assemblages inspired by iconic neo-santo figures. In the first class, we will construct handmade textured slab-based clay components such as heads, bodies, and enhancements. We will also learn to make hand-crafted clay press molds. These components will be fired once. The next week, we will build our figure, incorporating found objects such as bones and shells and bleached twigs into the final assemblage and perhaps include cherished objects and hidden words. We will explore the limitless possibilities of cold finishes, such as metallics and beeswax, to enhance the surfaces of the unglazed earthenware components.

Now Open - Spirit & Form: Creating Vessels of Passage and Purpose Step into a soulful studio practice where sculpture meets story, and form becomes a portal for meaning. In this richly layered mixed-media workshop, you'll explore the vessel—bowl, boat, bundle—as both an ancient object and a personal metaphor. Across cultures and centuries, vessels have held food, fire, ashes, prayers. Here, they will hold you: your memories, your materials, your imagination.
