Conejos River San Juans Ceramic Art Tile

A river that runs ninety-two miles out of the South San Juan Wilderness, past Conejos Peak, through Platoro Reservoir, then down a canyon walled in volcanic rhyolite. The Colorado anglers who fish it tend to keep quiet about it. The Pinnacles section is fly-only water, gold-medal classified, with brown trout that hold deep in emerald pools beneath two-hundred-foot cliffs. Antonito and the Cumbres & Toltec narrow-gauge are the way in. Most of the river is reached on foot.

Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
