Like many New Mexico potters, you may have been digging clay in Abiquiu for decades, where it is abundant, beautiful, and easily accessible. Just why is that - and how did all that beautiful clay get there?
Join Cal State geologists Josh Schwartz & Elena Miranda as they lead a tour of Abiquiu, surveying the geology of the Chama river valley, helping us learn to recognize clay, and to understand a bit about the formation of this iconic landscape we all love & draw inspiration from as we work in the clay studio. Also feel free to register for Elena & Josh’s slide talk the day before - 5pm in the studio.
Note: while we encourage carpooling & may be able to help coordinate, the studio does not provide transportation for this field trip.
Leaders: Elena Miranda & Josh Schwartz
Location: Abiquiu New Mexico (we’ll arrange carpooling once we have a complete registration)
Time: Saturday July 6, 9am - 3pm (our return time is approximate)
Limit: 20 participants
Cost: $35
