Jenni Ward will have new work in the sculpture garden, a large wall installation in the studio as well as smaller sculptures and gift items for sale. We will also have examples of our architectural ceramics with our new gate design, light fixtures and more, all of which can be custom designed for your home.
AND! We have our newest addition to the sculpture garden, El Nido | The Nest, which you really just have to come and experience in person!
Learn to etch glass with your custom design! Jenni Ward will walk you through all of the steps to mask and acid etch your own design onto a recycled glass bottle to use as a flower vase. They make a great handmade gift for the holidays!
All materials, cocktail/mocktail, water and light snacks provided.
There will also be free surfing and volleyball classes for local kids, free composting workshop, free transportation shuttle, and live music by Los Hijos del Tropico and the Mexican Weirdohs!
This fun and creative project, Proyecto de Calaveras actually has a serious goal, to raise money to support our local rancheros who were losing dozens of livestock due to severe drought conditions.
My cow skull is designed with turquoise ceramic horns and is crawling with colorful ceramic dermestid beetles, an homage to the beauty of the cycle of life. He does need a name if anyone wants to come up with some creative suggestions!?
There is a Go Fund Me set up if you’d like to donate directly (note donation amounts are in pesos not dollars) or come down to Galeria Mangos in Todos Santos June 14-21, 11am-4pm to bid on a skull decorated by a local artist.

About the project:
What do mushrooms and women have in common? They both play a significant role in the creation of life on Earth: populating, nourishing, cultivating, and communicating. Similar to the mycelium network, women serve as facilitators of communication and builders of connections. They pass down valuable knowledge through generations and share supportive information that uplifts one another. The Fungi Nipple ceramic installation is a collaborative effort between myself and a group of women who create these pieces together to form a swarm of Fungi Nipples. The number of pieces reflects the vital role that women play in our world as creators of life and growth. A woman embodies Mother Nature herself, with a sacred connection to the earth and clay. By honoring and respecting the womb, we honor and respect the feminine – embracing the deep, mysterious realms of inner wisdom, feminine power, intuition, and living in harmony with the cycles of birth, growth, decay, death. and rebirth. This installation aims to recognize women as the creators of life and their profound connection to Mother Nature. What better way to establish this connection than through a simple acknowledgment? Acknowledgment can serve as a potent tool for building trust, shifting attitudes, and fostering collaboration. This installation is designed to spark conversations about the power and practice of acknowledgment, aligning ourselves with the essence of Mother Nature.
