Study Abroad in Oaxaca, Mexico: Footprint & Ghost - Huella y Fantasma
Feb 15-19, 2027

Explore Oaxacan Print Studios and Galleries in the early evenings, including a visit to our own Fulgencio Lazo’s studio fulgenciolazoart, while creating prints during the day. Starting with an initial drawing you will create your own small edition during this five ½ day intensive at Grafica Zanate, in Jalatlaca one of the oldest sections of the city, with Master Printer Daniel Flores.

We will employ contemporary methods combining traditional etching techniques with an experimental approach. You will print a metal etched plate with a wood block that can be utilized as a flat color, or you can take advantage of the natural grains of wood to create organic textures.

Experience some of the best food in the world while visiting this culturally rich and colorful city with us.
