Join us for the 15th Annual Todos Santos Open Studios Artists’ Studio Tour, Saturday and Sunday January 31/ February 1, 2026 — kick-off party Friday January 30th. My studio will be open to the public for a festive weekend of handmade ceramics and paintings — located just uphill from my former location of Taller de Terreno. PLEASE NOTE that our original location for Taller de Terreno has been passed along to wonderful new owners, and we ask that you respect their privacy, using my entrance at the VERY top of the hill, one mile up from the main beach road. Look for the green flags at the corner, and marking my artist-neighbor Jenni Ward’s location + mine. Jenni’s is first up, then to find my studio continue uphill PAST the large concrete bunker and to my rammed earth and steel gate, pictured here:

I will be presenting a selection of wood-fired ceramic wares, both pottery and sculpture, alongside my one-of-a-kind acrylic on plywood paintings. The studio is just inside this gate to the left down a short driveway. PLEASE PARK OUTSIDE THE GATE so as not to block others.

Led by Ralph Scala, with guest artists Christa Assad + Sam Harvey, this inaugural workshop will focus on the design + construction of Taller de Terreno’s multiple fuel kiln, the V9. Participants will learn the processes + techniques involved in the construction of a brick car-kiln that is built into the natural landscape. Daily activities include: pottery demonstrations, discussions + practice of construction techniques, basic brick-cutting, stacking + mudding. These activities will be interspersed with creative studio time, one-on-one instruction, + recreational time. The stunning surroundings of tropical desert, mountains and Pacific coastline beckon to be explored.
