Discover the cultural heart of Mexico through art and ancient ceramics as well as engaging with underprivileged children at the Pimpollo Orphanage in the Sierra Norte Mountains.
Study and live in the beautiful colonial city of Oaxaca. The Zapotecs and Mixtecs, who once ruled here, created pottery and ceramics that adorned the entire city’s walls and helped put Oaxaca on the map. Learn their ancient approach to pottery and ceramics from locals who still carry on these ancestral crafts today. After visiting archaeological sites to study ancient ceramics, feel the history come alive in your hands as you mold your own pieces and leave your mark on this rich culture. And so it continues.
