One of the places our SchoolArts/CRIZMAC Oaxaca Folk Art seminar will visit in July is the compound of Agustin Cruz Prudencio, his father Agustin Cruz Tinoco, and his family. They all live and work together in San Juan Otzolotepec, Mexico, to produce their incredibly-detailed, fanciful carved wood and painted sculptures. Typically the men do the carving and the women do the painting. Learn how you can join us in Oaxaca in July here.
