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.
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.
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!
H2O, our water themed group exhibition is coming to a close – very soon! Whether you’ve been meaning to visit since the opening or just discovered us, now is the time.
The sculptures are still standing. The paintings are still on the walls. Come and be inspired by the art + the nature!
The best way to experience H2O before it closes is with a private tour. Just you, the work, and the story behind it, in an unhurried walk through the studio and sculpture garden with the curator.
Please join us for the last workshop of the season at Earth Art Studio!
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 on Friday May 29th from 10 – 1 and includes a tour of our exhibition H2O.
We are sharing each of the artists participating in our current exhibition H2O through our blog series, Artists Sharing Artists, so you can learn a little more about them and their artwork. If you’d like to come see the show in person, please check out our pop-up event schedule and/or book a private tour with us! If you’d like to purchase work, please contact us!
About the Artist: Drawing from her Polish roots and life in Baja, Natalia Szalc creates sculptural ceramic works that explore the interconnectedness between humanity and nature. Mushrooms, moss, and organic textures become metaphors for transformation, resilience, and feminine energy. The ceramic sculptures merge human anatomy with the language of the forest, inviting contemplation in both intimate and open spaces.
About the Art:
This series of ceramic vessels invites an exploration of the landscapes of feminine sexuality through the intimate and symbolic medium of clay. Rooted in the idea that we are all made of water—an element that holds memory, absorbs energy, and reflects our innermost beliefs—these vessels act as metaphors for the dynamic connection between the body and the mind.
Water, in its fluid and transformative nature, mirrors our thoughts, words, and images, influencing our reality and shifting the very core of our beliefs. The forms of the vessels evoke female sexual organs, creating a visual dialogue about pleasure, connection, and self-awareness.
You are invited to confront societal judgments and expectations surrounding femininity and sexuality. With a sense of playfulness and openness, the work encourages a deep connection to the water within us.
Earth Art Studio believes in supporting working artists! Purchasing art work and/or contributing a donation for your visit to the sculpture trail helps keep our creative community thriving and making more art!
Currently, the studio is only open for scheduled events and by appointment.
