Discover Our Worldview Techniques and Processes on Your Visit
It is a pleasure to share with all our visitors the work we have been doing for 28 years.
01
Guided Tour
Upon arriving at the Workshop, we will introduce you to our world, where the “tonas and nahuales” live; animals with spirit, carved and decorated with motifs represented in our Zapotec calendar. You will take a tour of the workshop and we will share with you the process of making wooden pieces, and you will learn about our jewelry and ceramics projects.
02
Workshops
As an experience, we offer you different workshops.
Once you know what your spiritual animal is, you can take the workshop “Paint Your Nahual”and decorate your own nahualito, guided by a teacher. This is a great experience for all ages and is available both in-person and online.
You can also take a “Painting Class with Jacobo and María”, where you will use natural pigments and meet them in person. We need to schedule this experience in advance.
If you like ceramics and want to have a first approach to this craft, you can come one day to take a“Pottery Wheel Class”, a traditional tool that uses centrifugal force to shape clay. Please let us know at least a week in advance so we can be ready.
The“Mask Carving Workshop”is a complete experience that introduces participants to wood carving techniques and decoration through one of the most significant elements in the community: masks. Available for universities and cultural centers.
03
Stays
Join us for a stay where you will have the opportunity to learn the techniques that master artisans use to decorate pieces or work with clay. You will work closely with a teacher and be able to thrive in a unique environment where you will need to use your creativity and artistic skills.

Residencies
Our residencies aim to foster multidisciplinary exchanges, intercultural meetings, as well as networks of contribution among creators, strengthening cultural practices and contributing to the reciprocity of ideas, knowledge, and skills for the benefit of the community. If you are an artist or creator, you can spend some time with us and learn while sharing your knowledge.
