Pattern into Form: Sculpting with the Land

  • Center for Regenerative Agriculture at Jalama Canyon Ranch 3635 Jalama Road Lompoc, CA, 93436 United States (map)

Experience a hands-on sculpting workshop at Jalama Canyon Ranch and discover how patterns in the natural world become sculptural form.

Sunday, June 14 | 10am-2pm | Jalama Canyon Ranch

Join our Artist-in-Residence Kim Radochia for an artist talk and walk through the landscape, then bring what you see to life through hands-on making using materials from the ranch. No experience necessary.

Cost: Sliding scale of $75-$125

The day begins with a guided walk with Kim to observe the textures, forms, and rhythms that shape the natural world. This exploration is followed by a sculpture-making session using natural materials gathered from the ranch alongside a variety of casting techniques.

Participants will contribute to a collaborative sculptural piece and create an individual work to take home. A seasonal farm-to-table lunch will be shared as part of the experience.

This workshop is an invitation to slow down, engage your senses, and explore making as a way of connecting more deeply with the land.


About the Artist

Kim Radochia

2026 Spring Artist-in-Residence

Kim Radochia creation’s capture movement and energy to immerse viewers in the moment. Her intense process of making, exploring materials and connecting to place has led to inventive, vibrant artworks that convey fragility and strength.

“During this residency, I will explore and create in relationship with the land, deepening connection to place and community. My work is guided by li, an ancient Chinese concept centered on patterns in nature across every scale, which informs my approach to form and creative process.”

— Kim Radochia

Highlights of Radochia’s career include an invitation from the Cape Ann Museum to create a community sculpture for the opening of their Sculpture Green in 2021, titled Heart in the Haystack. In 2016 she installed A.B., a kinetic stainless steel sculpture based on molecular structures on the grounds of Cell Signaling Technology, a bioscience company in Beverly, MA. Radochia was featured in Art New England magazine in 2011 as one of three sculptors to watch in David Raymond’s article Setting the Pace.
