Karl was an amazing host, and a very kind person. He has a great love for Tortola, and took great pride in sharing the story of the island. His artist studio and campus is serene, and his focus on teaching in a calm and patient manner kept my children interested in the session and in helping each other during their time at the pottery wheel. The visit to other artists, the stop at the beach, and the chance to see some native wildlife was a really special trip for our family.

This tour with Karl was fantastic! I would HIGHLY recommend. It started off with a driving tour around parts of Road Town and surrounding areas. Karl knows a lot about the history and we enjoyed his commentary. Then we stopped at Mr. Vanterpool's studio. We LOVED learning from him and touring his studio and garden. Mrs. Vanterpool is also great. She made us gooseberry juice and let us try fresh sugarcane, which were both new for us. Yum! Then we drove along Ridge Road and got to see the famous murals. Next we were off to Karl's pottery studio. It was so fun to watch him throw pottery on his wheel. He also showed us around his garden and gallery. Next we got to see flamingos at Josiah's Bay Pond. So cool! Then a quick stop at Josiah's Bay to watch the turquoise waves breaking. Karl got us back to the port right on time. The tour lasted for 4 hours, but we loved it so much we wished we could've stayed longer. But, alas, our cruise ship was heading out. Would love to come back to Tortola!
