B CR8IV and learn a new crafty skill while enjoying the quiet of the Las Playitas desert. Basura to Baskets is a hands-on weaving workshop that transforms everyday waste into something useful, beautiful, and lasting. Using recycled and found materials—plastic bags, packaging, and more—participants will learn foundational basket-weaving techniques while rethinking what we consider “trash.” Guided step-by-step by Anapaula, we’ll explore how to prepare, shape, and weave these materials into functional vessels. All materials will be provided, though participants are encouraged to bring clean, flexible waste items of their own to incorporate into their work.

We had so much fun with Christina Dean last Saturday learning to embroidery at the studio that honestly, I drank the proverbial KoolAid and had a hard time stopping finding things to embroider, in fact I spent most of my Sunday continuing to work on ideas which only led to more ideas!
The workshop led everyone through basic stitches along with pro-tips and then we dove into creating desert floral designs onto our bandanas. Everyone took their projects and supplies home to finish up. Oh yeah, and we had some delish spicy cucumber margaritas to accompany the day. So much fun!

Most common question I’m asked: “Can that wire go in the kiln without melting?!?”
Yes. Yes it can.
In this online workshop I gave through The Ceramic School, you will learn everything I’ve spent a career figuring out about using clay and high temperature wire together. I share my process for making simple flower forms and using the wire to create the umbel or umbrella shaped structure of the flower. I’ll also show you other practical uses for the wire in your studio.
