Description
Engraving in Oaxaca is a very popular artistic technique, which is characterized by its incursion into street art.
In our workshop you will learn the basic skills for creating an engraving piece in a simple way and without prior experience. We will guide you throughout the entire process, giving you advice so that your result is good and so that you have a good time.
Likewise, if you are already an artist you can experiment in the style of local artists. You can also learn about the historical and sociocultural context that influences the development of this artistic practice in Oaxaca and Mexico.

Wood block printing
Despite language differences this was such an amazing experience. We managed to create some fantastic work with the guidance of the team. The instructors Marie and her friend were fantastic. They helped us create a unique piece to remember our stay in Oaxaca. You will need to have some strength in your hands to do the carving but they help you along the way. If you need to fill in an afternoon and you are interested in art and different mediums give this a go. My friend also brought an original piece from them that was very reasonably priced. .

Wonderful use of an afternoon in Oaxaca
We picked this workshop over others because we recognized so much of the art around the city having originated there, and were glad we did! Had a great experience and was happy to have some historical context included with the practical skill knowledge shared. The studio space is wonderful, the art is inspiring and most important the founders/employees were kind, patient and inspiring.

Excellent studio experience
This was the best woodcut workshop I have done in Oaxaca - ( I have done three others). Abril gives the best instruction, plus she explains the history of Oaxacan woodcuts so we understand better the context of what we see all around town. Highest recommendation!!

THE BEST!
This class was super fun, super interesting, and super inspiring! It was so much deeper than I expected. The hosts are not only talented artists, but are incredibly passionate about wood engraving, Mexico's social history, and celebrating meaningful art. Would recommend 10/10!

Print-making in Oaxaca!
I had a great experience. Milo and Bri were super helpful in teaching the craft but also by giving a historical context to Oaxacan and Mexican wood prints. Strongly recommended.
