Destination? American Southwest.
It possesses a quiet, yet very strong type of beauty,
with a subtle color palette that's dry and serene,
We're talking gorgeous blocks of clay, and a statuesque landscape.
Beautiful handicrafts and worn finishes.
Clearly, it's also a place that has long influenced many
artists and artisans over the years.
