Impressions of Oaxaca Application: June 9-19, 2023
Hello and welcome to Impressions of Oaxaca Embroidery Workshop Tour Application!

​​We're are so happy that you want to join us for Impressions of Oaxaca, a 10-day guided artistic journey to explore Oaxaca’s diverse craft traditions, natural beauty, and rich culture. On this embroidery workshop tour, you will take a deep dive into Oaxacan embroidery by engaging in hands-on learning alongside traditional and contemporary artists. On this trip, you won’t be a spectator, but an active maker. 

Upon reviewing and receiving your application, we will reach out to schedule a follow up call with Kim & Carolyn if you'd like more information and send a payment link if you're ready to secure your spot for this embroidery intensive. 

You can check out a detailed day-to-day itinerary of our time together at https://www.travelingtradersbazaar.com/pages/detailed-itinerary. 

Thank you for your interest. We hope to stitch with you in Oaxaca this Summer! 
Miriam, Carolyn, & Kim

Here is what some of our recent attendees are saying about Traveling Traders Bazaar tours:

"There was discovery and striking connections at every turn. Mexico offers more than I had imagined and Oaxaca is the perhaps the most magical place I’ve ever visited. Zachary and Kim provide all you need to take it all in at your own pace and the direction of your choosing. ”

                                                                                   - Michael, Chef/Restaurant Owner; Florida; 2022 attendee

"So much more than a tour; this was the ultimate Oaxaca experience. Exploring ruins with local, knowledgeable guides; joining in on Gaelaguetza in Oaxaca City; enjoying gourmet food; mushroom foraging with Zapotec people; dyeing with mushrooms & lichens; weaving the dyed wool under the tutelage of a Teotitlan weaving family.  But what made it all so magical was being a welcomed part of the local community--thanks to Zack & Kim--who embrace the local culture and passionately cultivate relationships and friendships with the local people. We are already looking forward to another Zach/Kim experience real soon!"
