We spent the day fixing the RV and getting organised before the storm got here.

Colcha Embroidery Class
It was great to have the chance to meet with Julia Gómez at the Museum of Spanish Colonial Art and get to know more about the Colcha stitch.

At the Museum of Spanish Colonial Art
Today I visited the Museum of Spanish Colonial Art in Santa Fe. While at the Museum, I was lucky enough to participate in a Colcha Embroidery class, where I was introduced to this way of stitching developed during the Spanish colonial period. This group of women meet once a month to share their creations with each other, keeping alive this tradition.
Santa Fe arrival
After a long flight from London and a brief detour through Denver where I was presenting at Imersa, I have finally arrived to Santa Fe. I hope that after a couple of days preparing the logistics of the trip I will have time to post more often. I just collected the RV that I will be using to travel across the Southwest. I will name it Orwell, because he first hit the road in 1984! Although he is not perfectly in shape I have no doubt he is going to be a great colleague in this adventure.
Ready for Take Off
I am happy to be writing the first post of what will become the blog of my journey. In less than a week I will be arriving in Santa Fe to begin the project Spaniards: Moving forward, looking back, developed in collaboration with SPAIN arts & culture.
