Course Description:

By popular demand, we’ve added an afternoon session from 1:00–3:00 p.m. Same great tour, now with a new time to join us.

2026 is the 150th birthday of Jo Mora, who has been called the "Renaissance Man of the West." To celebrate this occasion, Jo Mora consultant Peter Hiller is leading a guided walking tour of current Jo Mora sites in downtown Salinas, including the John Steinbeck Library, the repurposed Monterey County Courthouse, and the National Steinbeck Center, where a Jo Mora exhibit is on display in the gallery. We invite you to bring your lunch and stay after the tour—a great opportunity to connect with Peter Hiller and your fellow classmates.

Tuition: $10.00

Additional Fees: $0.00

Facilitator:

When Peter Hiller is not making art from found objects, returning to teaching the art of clay and wheel throwing, or embracing his art of wabi sabi, he continues to be enthralled with the legacy of Jo Mora.
