Field EXPEDITIONS
A series of workshops in some of the world’s greatest destinations: Our field expeditions are learning adventures for artists,
amateurs and others who want to explore a new culture while advancing their craft and creating a new body of personal
work. Destination workshops are led by renowned artists who know the area, are experienced teachers and generous mentors. These
workshops are life-enhancing experiences and, as with any adventure, the journey is the destination.

body of work. The studio is open 24 hours a
day, providing participants with ample time
to work on individual projects. Morning and
afternoon sessions feature slide talks, demonstrations and instruction addressing each
student’s experience and unique set of skills.
Everyone is invited to bring a few pieces of
high-fire cone 10 stoneware or porcelain to fire
in the kiln. We’ll engage in lively discussions
of process and take a few side trips into the
lovely countryside, meeting local clay artists
while exploring Caribbean in history and culture. We celebrate our week in the studio with
the firing of David Pinto’s wood-fired anagama
and soda kiln.

This field expedition is ideal for anyone motivated to step outside a routine artistic practice
and take risks in a very supportive studio atmosphere. The lush landscape and relaxed studio
setting are ideal for cultivating the imagination
and creating new work. Delicious meals are
crafted from local produce, refining a taste for
Jamaican cuisine while satisfying any personal
dietary requests. Breakfast and dinner are generally served at the Tree House, with lunch at
David’s studio.

Tuition for workshops in Jamaica includes
ground transportation, all meals, accommodations, instruction, all studio mat \
