2008 Exhibits and Watercolor Workshops with Tom Hoffmann

Oaxaca, Mexico Workshop

March 21-27
Oaxaca is one of the great cultural centers in the western hemisphere. The concentration of museums, cathedrals, galleries, libraries and schools rivals that of cities far larger, but in Oaxaca they are within strolling distance of each other. When you admire a hand-crafted object anywhere in mexico and ask where it was made, chances are you'll be told "Oaxaca!"

Within half an hour's drive from the center of town there are several major pre-colombian ruins, and every day is market day in one or another of the nearby villages, where most families maintain the local tradition of weaving, dying, wood carving, tin ware or ceramics.

Back in town, the colonial architecture offers a limitless supply of colorful painting venues. There are not enough hours in one week to make a dent in the subject matter, especially considering how good the food is. It would be a shame to skip a meal. No wonder we have been known to paint past midnight.
