Impressions of Oaxaca Application: June 27-July 8, 2024
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
