The fifth of California's 21 missions, founded by Junípero Serra in 1772 and named for a thirteenth-century French bishop from Toulouse. The L-shaped adobe sits along a creek in downtown San Luis Obispo, with Mission Plaza opening off its south side. After Chumash arrows set the thatched roof on fire in the 1770s, the padres developed red clay roof tiles that would not burn. The shape went on to define every mission in the chain. The bells still ring on the hour. People still cross themselves on the way past.

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