Perro y Arena is a ceramics project
and design studio based in Tijuana,
Baja California, México
Exploring the spiritual connection between humans and the Baja Californian fauna, each piece is meticulously crafted by hand in the studio in Tijuana. The clay and pigments we use reflect the textures and tones of Baja's Mediterranean landscapes, while the animal figurines transport us to a mythical world where we can dance with coyotes and hares under the moonlight.
