Encaustic Workshop 2025/ Collagraph Printmaking Workshop 2025

Encaustic Painting & Collagraph Printmaking Retreat in Guanajuato, Mexico

January 3-10, 2025

Embark on a creative and culturally enriching experience on the open-air rooftop studio at Alma del Sol in the picturesque city of Guanajuato. This marks the sixth year of the Guanajuato Printmaking retreat, commencing with a welcome dinner on January 3, followed by instructional days on January 4-10. Optional activity day included choosing from sightseeing, exploring local cuisine, or working in the studio!

Transform the Spanish Colonial hill town of Guanajuato, the birthplace of Diego Rivera, into your winter haven for creativity and exploration. Founded in 1559, Guanajuato boasts opulent colonial buildings, tree-filled plazas, and vibrantly colored houses perched on steep slopes. This city, with its excellent museums, beautiful theater, and lively cobblestone streets adorned with markets and restaurants, is a captivating maze of tunnels once traversed by rivers.

Don’t miss the opportunity to kick off the New Year by immersing yourself in creativity, surrounded by students from across the globe, in this magical place.
