Specialized Workshops
Each year, we select a country with a rich and renowned ceramic tradition to lead our academic program.
The workshops are taught by internationally renowned masters who represent the most significant ancestral and avant-garde movements from their respective nations.
Argentina is our Guest Country for 2025.
National and International Masters
Our guest instructors lead the workshops as intensive academic residencies where students and teachers share the ceramic practice in an integrative and truly holistic way.
Each workshop lasts 15 days and takes place in Tapalpa, Jalisco, Mexico.
