Bloom Baja Pottery and Yoga Retreat
TODOS SANTOS, Baja Sur, Mexico
A perfect pause from the pace of everyday life. This pottery and yoga retreat is designed to help you slow down, reconnect, and return to yourself.
Todos Santos is a place of beauty and inspiration. This special place, tucked away from the hustle and bustle, is home to many artists and creative people who want to get away from it all, while still having incredible restaurants, art and culture.
The workshop includes five days of instruction in clay, as well as yoga classes each day, giving you time to create and rejuvenate in beautiful Baja Sur.
This workshop is for all levels, beginners and more experienced potters are welcome. We will explore pinching, coiling and slab building, as well as decorating and glazing techniques and experimental surface design.
