Spend 8 days with paper artist Paula Hartmann and local travel guide Katrin Schrimpf and explore the artisanal and cultural rich world of Oaxaca, Mexico from Feb 6-13, 2025. Participants will have the unique opportunity to learn the art of paper-making using native plants from Mexican artist Eduardo Santiago Gijón and take part in a paper-jewelry workshop with Paula. There will be several outings to explore the local craft and art scene including street art tours, visits to ancient temples and a class in Oaxacan cuisine. This retreat is the perfect mix of art, play and adventure.

Part of the trip will take place in San Agustin Etla, situated near the renowned art center (Centro de las Artes de San Agustin) which was founded by the famous Mexican artist Francisco Toledo. Then we’ll conclude the stay in Oaxaca City with its vibrant street art scene.

This is an ideal retreat for teachers, art and craft lovers and culturally interested folks. No prior experience is necessary and all workshops are created for beginners.
