a new trail to explore!
We took advantage of the cool weather and cloud cover today to work on the sculpture trail and make a new path to one of the largest cardón cactus we have on the property. Now when you visit you can get up close and personal with this amazing cardón that could be hundreds of years old! Come visit again soon!🌵
The team of eight at Barro Sur are showing off their personal ceramic works at Galeria Todos Santos, and it’s a pretty spectacular exhibit! If you missed the opening last Friday, there’s still time to get in there and check out the amazing talent of this team.
My medusas under bell jars are the glowing with this amazing Michael Cope cloud painting behind them.
The exhibit will be up for the next few weeks, so be sure to pop in while you’re cruising around el centro!
Ocho de Barro Sur at Galaria Todos Santos: A sculptural presentation of personal work by the ceramic artists who make up the team at Barro Sur. Join us during the last Todos Santos Art Walk of the season from 4-8 PM Friday June 12th. Don’t miss the gallery’s famous margaritas by Erick while you are discovering new work by these talented emerging and established artists!
Celebrating Artist Christa Assad at Galaria Militar: For our final Art Walk of the season tomorrow, we will be presenting the work of our dear friend and artist, Christa Assad.
As many of you may have heard, Christa recently underwent major spinal reconstructive surgery and will be facing a lengthy recovery here in Todos Santos. In an effort to help ease the burden of these significant life changes and support her journey into the next chapter of her artistic adventure, we will be offering a selection of her work at “special” prices.
We hope you’ll join us for an evening of art, community, and support as we celebrate Christa’s remarkable work and help her continue creating for years to come.

You made the drive. You followed the dirt road way past where the pavement ends, and discovered Earth Art Studio in middle of the Baja desert. You found where art + nature meet. If that experience stayed with you — we’d love your help sharing it.
Your review is how the next person finds us.
Every review makes a real difference for a hidden gem like ours. It helps the right people — the curious and adventurous ones, find their way down that dirt road.
Thank you for supporting our small independent business! And thank you for helping others find us.
Last week Earth Art Studio hosted 15 students from the Escuela de la Palapa, a local school in Todos Santos. These students were selected for their interest in art and were given a tour of the studio, sculpture garden and we made a take home art project inspired by one of our protected endemic trees, the Torote. It was a great visit and the kids really enjoyed it, plus I got a chance to really practice my Spanish! You can see a few more pics of their visit here.
It is my hope that in the future, Earth Art Studio can continue to offer these opportunities to local students and schools for FREE! We want to build community through the arts, making art and nature accessible to everyone. We are supplementing the costs of these field trips through donations, and you can help!
Now that our big exhibition has ended, I’m getting to reclaim my studio and experiment with new ideas. I’ve been wanting to experiment with cyanotype on fabrics, using my porcelain plankton pieces as the masking objects and I finally got the time to play with it. These are all just tests but I’m so excited by the results and I think there’s a lot of potential with this idea. I love that the translucent edges of the porcelain let enough light through to recreate that glow on the fabric.
You might remember making cyanotypes when you were a kid with a blue paper and some collected leaves and flowers, you’d expose it to the UV rays of the sun and then rinse it off, revealing the silhouette of the objects. It’s one of the oldest and simplest photography processes to do – and that Prussian blue is so gorgeous its hard not to be mesmorized by the process and results.
Here’s the process of my experiments:

We will be saving the planet in our own crafty way – turning single use plastic bags into usable baskets. This workshop will be taught by Anapaula of Casa Ladrillo.
Fresh out of the kiln, these new Art Hearts with Baja inspired designs are super sweet!
They are available as ornaments or on metal stems to plant in the garden. Each one is hand made and glazed individually and at 500p each, they make great gifts!
We’re open by appointment only, so please drop us a message if you’d like to come pick some up!
Over the past few months, I’ve been sharing each of the artists participating in our H2O exhibition, one per week. If you’ve missed any of them or you want to revisit, you can click this link to see them all.
I love the diversity of artwork we have in this exhibition and the different approaches each artist took with our common theme of water. I’m so pleased to share these talented artists and their work with you. So even if you can’t see the exhibition in person, you can get a virtual view of it through this blog series. Enjoy!
