This spring, Cosanti Originals hosts a variety of hands-on workshops and specialty tours that are open to the public.
Each unique experience offers guests a peek into the life, traditions and methods of Cosanti artisans, according to a press release.
First up is Casting Cosanti, running from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Friday, April 17. This workshop presents a hands-on opportunity that melds artistic expression informed by the desert with an exploration of Cosanti’s innovative and experimental historic site, according to the release. Guests will be guided through the process of carving and shaping a mold made from desert earth and will create a cast plaster tile using the same techniques that shaped the construction of Cosanti itself.
