Memories en Barro

Photography, clay, and the art of keeping a moment.

A two-part creative workshop bringing together thoughtful photography and handmade ceramic frames

Begin with a new way of seeing. Valeria will guide you through taking more intentional photographs with your phone, exploring light, color, composition, and the small choices that make an image feel compelling and personal. Through practical guidance and creative exploration, you’ll learn to notice beauty in everyday moments and capture it with greater confidence.
With Johanna, you’ll bring that inspiration into clay, creating a ceramic frame by hand. Explore shape, texture, and details as you make a piece that becomes part of the memory it holds.

Across two relaxed mornings at our open-air studio in Sayulita, enjoy time to learn, experiment, and connect over coffee, tea, and a breakfast treat. Come away with a fresh perspective on photography and a handmade frame for a moment worth keeping.

No previous photography or ceramics experience is needed. Just bring your phone and your curiosity.
