Testimonials

  • "Learning about natural building with an artistic twist from Paulina was magic. She shared her knowledge and we got to put it in practice using locally sourced materials. I'm excited to continue to put in practice what I've learned through the workshop."

    -Carmen Rangel

  • "Paulina led an Earthen Artistry workshop and collectively we stepped back into a deep time portal. A community project is the antidote to staring down the end of the Anthropocene. Stomping in mud in a unison, crumbing colored dust, fingers soaked in magic nopal juice. Paulina's very empathetic and open teaching style have emboldened me to learn more about these natural materials and pursue a future building projects."

    -Kate Csigalli

  • "Paulina's workshop allowed me to gain a tremendous amount of knowledge and meet like-minded individuals. The space fostered an environment safe for absorbing and becoming aware of the implications of the work we were doing together. It was wonderful to receive literature recommendations, and the hands-on part was inclusive to all skill sets and interests. Would recommend to anyone looking to practice sustainable creation."
