This year Jane Robison will be joined by Bill Smith in leading this popular tour. We will visit the archaeological sites, markets, museums and churches of Oaxaca, and join our friends in the crafts villages to see their home altars. We will visit cemeteries, build our own beautiful altar, and create an installation in our local park to honor those people from Oaxaca who have died in the U.S. this year. An unforgettable experience!

We enjoy sketching and photography on our adventures. With our guide Nicolas we plan to visit the market at Tlacolula. We’ll spend a day with Fundación en Via visiting the village women this microfinance organization supports. We plan to do textile art with artist Maddalena Forcella. We’ll spend a day with artist/printmaker Enrique Flores in San Pablo Huitzo. At the end of the day, it is always a pleasure to come back to the Casa to relax and have a delicious meal and good conversations at the long dining room table.
