about
The Ojo gallery opened in the summer of 2023. The gallery showcases work from Logan Wannamaker, as well as current resident artists Bina (Bina Ceramics) and Nicole (Unearthed Artworks). We are situated just outside of the historic Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs in a 100+ year-old adobe mercantile building adjacent to the Chapel of Santa Cruz de Ojo Caliente. The spacious gallery features an old tin ceiling and hardwood floors, maintaining the original character of the building. During your visit, you will also be able to see the resident artists’ working studios.
Logan wannamaker
In 2006, I moved to Taos, New Mexico from Colorado to help create a ceramics community. This included a summer workshop program, two residencies, ongoing classes, and a variety of firing possibilities. In 2014 I handed over Taos Clay in order pursue making pots full time. Taos Clay helped me draw in ceramic artists from all over the world and has been the majority of my education and background in ceramics. It takes a community to fire many of the kilns we have built around Taos and Taos Clay has been a vital part of keeping the ceramics community aware of the trends of contemporary ceramics. I show the majority of my work out of my gallery located on the the road to the ski valley in Taos, New Mexico. I additionally showcase my work in hotels, galleries, boutiques and restaurants throughout the United States. The majority of my work is available in these settings, however, to have a direct relationship with my collectors I do sell directly through my website..
