This experience was such a find - If you love doing crafts you will love learning embroidery with Mayra in her home. I had a wonderful time chatting and sharing. It was fun to embroider the project on my travel home. I will cherish the day forever. Thank you Mayra!

So good I'm taking my sister next time! - It was a wonderful experience and a lot of fun. The teacher was friendly, helpful, and overall it was very informative. I will be going back with my sister later in the month! It's a very quiet relaxing time, and also gives you perspective on the kind of work that goes in to the textiles you see and they buy on your trip.

Creative and sooo much fun! - Oh you will love this class! Seeing the embroidery all over Mexico is great inspiration and the class is so much fun. The instructor uses a translation app on her phone to translate what she is saying so don’t be worried if you do not speak Spanish. Also she is wonderful and very helpful as students are learning. I highly recommend!!

Wonderful workshop with Mayra - Mayra is a wonderful teacher and master artisan in Merida, Mexico. She is a former University teacher of 15 years in illustration, embroidery and photography. The class was at her studio - a one on one workshop to study emboidery, including the traditional Maya Yucatecan embroidery. It is a rich cultural tradition here. Today I learnt a number of different stitches, and most importantly free form stitching to create the illusion of dimension.

Great experience! Wonderful memento! - We learned so much in this class! Mayra explained the history, stories, and techniques clearly. We were able to pick out a design and get to work creating! Mayra was super generous and made sure we had enough thread to complete our work! Definitely recommend this experience! 10/10

Embrodiary beginninga - Its for People who are interested in handicrafts and a meditative few hours. Instructor had a very calming personality.

Lovely out-of-the-ordinary activity for everyone - The embroidery class with Mayra was a lovely and meditative experience. Her warm support made the learning process enjoyable and fulfilling. Despite not speaking much English (Google Translate will be a good companion), her warmth and enthusiasm made me feel comfortable and eager to learn. Her ability to communicate the history and technique, despite the language barrier, was delightful. If you can, ask her about her photography and other artistic endeavors, she’s a talented woman! One slight warning – it can be difficult to locate her house. It’s at the corner and she has banners on the gate. We were confused by the numbering and didn’t walk far enough along the block at first. I highly recommend taking a class with Mayra. The combination of her expertise, the comprehensive materials provided (pattern selection, hoop, needles, thread), and the engaging atmosphere make it an unforgettable experience. I'm looking forward to completing my project and trying out something larger.

Very good workshop - Loved the workshop! Excellent activity to have a good time with family or friends, alone or as an activity to date <3

Suggest that you make it... - Suggest that you make it clear that final location details will come in WhatsApp. We had trouble finding the location because google maps was incorrect and sent us astray. Also let people know that kits are available for sale. Instructor was fantastic, lovely patient and talented. Just the logistics need improvement.

Zero Communication - Location of Workshop Unclear - I booked this workshop for my wife, and she did enjoy it. However, there was zero communication from the people who put this workshop on. After booking the workshop, I received confirmation from Tripadvisor and instructions that the address or location of the workshop would be sent to me a few hours prior to the workshop. This never happened. There was a partial address given with the confirmation, but no house number. Based on the partial address given, we tried to find the workshop. After going to the wrong place, we tried to contact the workshop leader through Tripadvisor, but received no reply. Finally, after some detective work on my part, we were able of locate the workshop. I've done a lot of tours through Tripadvisor and the tour leaders have always reached out and communicated with me, especially about where to meet. This workshop leader simply did not do this. Reserva este taller para mi esposa y ella lo disfrutó.. Sin embargo, no hubo ninguna comunicación por parte de quienes lo organizaron. Después de reservar, recibí confirmación de Tripadvisor e instrucciones de que me enviarían la dirección o ubicación del taller unas horas antes. Esto nunca ocurrió. La confirmación incluía una dirección parcial, pero no el número de casa. Con base en esta dirección parcial, intentamos encontrar el taller. Tras equivocarnos de lugar, intentamos contactar con el/la guía del taller a través de Tripadvisor, pero no recibimos respuesta. Finalmente, tras una investigación por mi parte, pudimos localizar el taller. He hecho muchos tours a través de Tripadvisor y los guías siempre se han puesto en contacto conmigo, especialmente para preguntarme dónde encontrarnos. Este/a guía del taller simplemente no lo hizo.
