Heaven on Earth 2019

Heaven on Earth 2019 Heavenly people, I am super excited about the Heaven on Earth 2019 offer.   We have a world class artist, Benito Ortega along with me, Donna Billick, to teach sculpting the human figure in clay along with mosaic construction. The dates are Jan 7-11 2019, in Todos Santos, Baja Sur Mexico.  Our intention this year is to create with the community of Todos Santos a” Saints Alive Wall”. This wall is a gesture of pray for us as a united people of the planet, undivided, no borders, open arms love and tolerance. This is a big community build dream with many faces and hands that will create it. The idea is to teach portraiture and figure sculpture in the Heaven on Earth 2019 workshop. Benito and I will demonstrate from a live figure, models and reference books, classic figure sculpture techniques.  Benito and I sample portraits will be donated to the “Saints Alive Wall “to be installed in the historic down town of Todos Santos.  You will have your own figures to fire and take home.  In addition to sculpting the figure in clay we will show how to integrate handmade ceramic relief tiles of faces and hands into a portrait of a Saint using mosaic material.  This I a super offer for you to build portraiture and figure skills, in addition to expanding into a community build mosaic project.  Our Mexican neighbors are a true gift to the world and WE can express a different sentiment than the current border wall monster idea.  Love to have your support for this project and build your skills in sculpting the figure in clay. Much love and truly hope to see you this year in Todos Santos for Heaven on Earth 2019

Your heavenly host, Donna Billick 

Housing/Transportation:

There is lots of information about where to stay in the area at donnabillickart.com website, press the Todos Artes circle and explore past Heaven on Earth workshops, there is a movie at vimeo.com/38655199, Aztec Calendar 2012.  In addition there is an online magazine, Journeldelpacifico.com with maps and services available in Todos Santos, Pueblo Magico of Baja. I can recommend for those interested in a cheap and clean hotel for the week to look into Hotel Gularate or Casita Maria in my neighborhood, no reservation needed.  There are higher end casitas listed in my website.  The airport you would fly into is San Jose Del Cabo, one hour south of Todos Santos. It is a good idea to book flights as early as possible for a good deal.   There is a great new shuttle at Ecobajatours.com, that will pick you up at the airport and take you to Todos Santos In comfort, make a reservation before you make the flight to insure a seat. Heaven on Earth is located very central I town, close to all of the downtown restaurants and shops, one block from historic Hotel California.
