Oaxaca: Alebrije Painting Workshop with Hotel Pick-Up

Create your own wooden Alebrije in an authentic artisan workshop. Enjoy hotel pick-up, AC transportation, bilingual support, and a hands-on painting experience in San Martín Tilcajete.
Experience a professional and well-organized Alebrije workshop designed for travelers who want authenticity, comfort, and clear logistics. We pick you up directly from your hotel or Airbnb in an air-conditioned vehicle and take you to San Martín Tilcajete, the Zapotec town internationally known for its Alebrije artisans.

Upon arrival, your bilingual host introduces you to a family workshop where every piece is carved and painted by hand. You won’t be observing from afar—this is a guided, hands-on experience. You’ll learn about the carving process, natural pigments, traditional patterns, and the cultural meaning behind these iconic figures. No artistic experience is required; the artisan guides you step by step.

You’ll receive a wooden figure (10 cm) and all materials needed to paint it. This is your moment to create something personal and memorable. Most travelers say the value lies not only in the painting, but in understanding the work behind every Alebrije sold in Oaxaca.

We keep groups small to ensure personalized attention and a calm environment. This is not a mass-market demonstration or a shopping stop. You’ll have time to paint, ask questions, take photos, and enjoy the workshop at your own pace.
