Yankee Boy Basin wildflowers San Juans Ceramic Art Tile
$22.00
The high basin above Ouray, where the four-wheel road from Camp Bird ends in a meadow under Mt. Sneffels. For about two weeks each July, after the snow lifts and before the season turns, the basin holds the densest wildflower display in the southern San Juans: columbine, paintbrush, larkspur, parry primrose, all at once. Yankee Boy Falls runs through it. The town of Ouray calls itself the Switzerland of America; this is the back room where it earns the name.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
