Exploring the vibrant streets of Santa Fe, I'm continually inspired by the remarkable works of our talented local artists. Conversations with them often reveal their creative processes and visions, fostering a generous artistic community that encourages others to explore their own talents. A standout example is DIY Santa Fe: A Creative Tourism Journey, an initiative by Santa Fe Creative Tourism, the Santa Fe Convention & Visitors Bureau, and the City of Santa Fe Arts Commission. Through the end of March, artists across genres and mediums offer workshops to help participants discover their unique artistic voice. Bring your imagination and start creating.
Relieve Stress Through Pottery

Create a cherished piece of any size, feeling the clay transform under your hands. No prior experience is needed—just enthusiasm and joy.

Gail, a graduate of New York City's School of Visual Arts with fellowships from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, has exhibited widely in the U.S. and Europe. Her expertise will guide you to unlock your inner artist.
