We deeply appreciated this introduction to the carving and painting of alebrijes. Our guide was informative and took great care in making sure we understood what he was saying. The wood, the carving, the many steps in between and the painting were quite amazing, informative and fascinating. Many hands and talented people creating beauty and keeping alive the tradition. This was only a introduction to a long standing art but a good beginning. We all painted our own alebrejes after and continued to talk about what we learned. We share this visit with a family who had 2 children apx 9 and 11 and they seemed to enjoy this workshop immensely.If you are interested in the art behind the traditional alebrijes in Oaxaca.

Everyone was on time and ready for us to learn how those famous "alebrijes" were made...from a raw piece of copal wood, the shape and size of which inspire the sculptor.Then comes the painting and what a miracle this is, and what detail they can accomplish with one hair brush. Trying ourselves at painting a small animal in two hours makes you quickly believe in the super talent of these painters trained for 6 months at 10 hours work day to achieve the best. After this experience our eyes are trained to the best and we can appreciate the differences and understand the high prices they commend.
