Dear potters,
Each year I offer just a few unique, focused journeys to the hidden lands
of indigenous pottery in Mexico. These trips are put together through years
of research and exploration and are unequaled anywhere in Mexico. Through
these meticulously planned journeys the stunning world of traditional
pottery, rural culture and hard to reach corners of Southern Mexico are
made accessible to the inquisitive traveler.
