Relaxing cultural learning opportunity - Our family of 4 (my husband and I and 9 and 12 year old children) loved this class. Myra was a great teacher. She teaches in Spanish and uses an app to translate to audio English. We all found it interesting, relaxing. Three out of the four of us had not embroidered before, but Myra made sure that everyone was successful. All of us would recommend it to friends visiting Merida.

I had a really great time... - I had a really great time with Mayra. The location was easy to find, comfortable, and the instructions were easy to follow. I appreciated the history on the style and examples provided of the traditional otomi embroidery. Mayra also showed me examples of how to incorporate the style into other types of embroidery projects. I can't wait to use this in more crafts moving forward!

Great Intro Class for Embroidery - This is a great activity for solo travelers. Not only was the host informative, but she was patient and enthusiastic about sharing her craft. We were given supplies to complete our projects, and directions to nearby shops to buy more supplies if needed. What a great way to support local artists!
