This nine-day retreat is a unique program for potters of all levels - beginners welcome! It offers an exceptional opportunity to learn the traditional process of making Yucatan clay, from stone to workable clay, right in the village where it is extracted. Then we will move on to enjoy four sessions in the best pottery studio in town, where we will learn some ancestral handbuilding and surface decoration techniques. While our clay creations dry and get fired we will revel in some of Merida and Yucatan 'musts', like an excursion to a cenote and historical hacienda, a day at the beach, a market to table cooking class with a local chef, and many outings to local activities and events. With plenty of free time to enjoy galleries, museums, shops, restaurants and cafes as we stroll around downtown Merida, this program offers a perfect balance of planned activities and fun and relaxing time. We will explore the city on foot and walk our 10,000 steps a day for sure, so bring your best walking shoes!
