Want to share a creative corner of our area with out-of-town guests?
Join us at Earth Art Studio for a private tour of the studio, sculpture garden and create a hands-on, take home art project in our Nest!
Book your appointment here…
The sculpture garden just got a little bit cooler with the addition of our new nest! El nido has been a work in progress over the past few weeks and it was just recently finished. Javier and Julietta of Arte con Madera del Desierto worked their magic weaving palo de arco into this amazing structure. We’ll be adding a table and benches to complete the shaded picnic area soon.
Come visit El Nido in person!
El Nido in progress…
It’s still a work in progress but we are adding a shade area to the sculpture garden that will be our picnic area, its a dome shape with two arched doorways and it will be woven with locally sourced palo de arco sticks that will give it a nest like structure.
Right now, the workers are designing the skeletal structure of the form with rebar and anchoring it to the ground with concrete footings, the steel is coated in a mesh and tinted concrete skin to protect it and help it blend into the natural wood. Next the wood will be woven and braided into the structure.
Here’s a few images of the the mock-ups and work in progress of El Nido…
We are spending a lot of time getting our sculpture garden back up to speed after a very stormy summer. I pretty much had to unearth the labyrinth from the tangle of weeds and vines that took over. While it’s walkable again, it still needs a bunch of work since the mini-flash floods washed away most of the sand layer that was keeping the surface looking nice and clean. Slowly, we are also unearthing all the trails and clearing away the debris as well as making new areas for art.
One of the newest areas we’re cleaning up is our gratitude garden. This space will be dedicated to everyone who donates to help us make the sculpture garden bigger and better. Large ceramic letters spelling gracias will be planted in the garden along with ceramic tiles with the names of our generous donors. Want to help us out? DONATE HERE
One of our closest neighboring businesses is Villa Santa Cruz, a sweet boutique hotel with sprawling gardens, beachside restaurants, horse stables and luxury rooms. Earth Art Studio has partnered with them to offer off site desert art tours for guests and we were just mentioned in this recent article written about them in Dujour Magazine. How cool is that!?
Just a reminder that if you come out here to visit the studio, you can make a day out of it by making a reservation and enjoy a meal with your toes in the sand at Villa Santa Cruz!
