We were fortunate to have artist and photographer Thayer Gowdy attend our Oaxaca Ceramics trip, hosted in collaboration with Colectivo 1050.

Thayer’s photos paint the full picture of our trip: rural countryside ceramic studios and Hierve el Agua mineral springs blended with fine dining and art gallery visits.
