 Doug Casebeer and David Pinto have been offering exceptional art workshops at the Good Hope Pottery in Jamaica for over 10 years. Participants in these special trips find the lush environment and cultural stimulation of this amazing country to be a true inspiration for their artmaking.

Jamaica workshops are based at the Good Hope Great House. Built in the classic Georgian style in 1744, this mansion was headquarters of one of Jamaica’s largest and most prosperous sugar plantations. The 2,000-acre plantation is still active in growing fruits and raising horses and cattle.  Rooms in the Great House, with antique furniture and canopied beds, overlook the Queen of Spain Valley and the meandering Martha Brae River.

Delicious meals are elegantly served.  You have breakfast and dinner at the Great House most days, with lunch at the nearby studio or in the field. Artmaking facilities are just a short walk from the Great House.There is a ceramics studio with fifteen wheels, a gas reduction kiln, oil fired soda kiln, and an anagama wood kiln built by David Pinto.The lush landscape and comfortable studio environment is ideal for creating artwork.
