The Road to Taos

On our way from Santa Fe to Taos, we visited Shel, the ceramicist who led the workshop to tile the bench at Xenia and Corry.  We pulled off the side of the two-lane, had to use our ski poles to maneuver our way down the switch-back path to the rickety suspension bridge across the river, followed a very circuitous semi-path past fences, a very curious hog and an irrigation ditch, and found ourselves at the most delightful little house, with a whimsical wall around it.  Shel showed us around the house, his studio and his 4? room cave carved into the sandstone hillside.  With multiple skylights.  It was all pretty damn amazing and my pictures don't do it justice.  There was so much and i failed to get pictures of a lot of it, such as his current work; slumped glass.  I am inspired, but to do what?
