COSAS Folk Art Buying Trips

COSAS Folk Art Buying Trips are small and take you directly into the artists homes and workshops.

In our travels, we’ve met so many artists and their families and have gotten to know such great hand crafted works of art. We felt that if people had the opportunity to meet the artists and watch the work being done, it would create a greater appreciation for these crafts that have such a fragile future in our high tech world.

Read about our upcoming Folk Art Tours & Buying Trips in the itineraries below. On our journey you can buy directly from each master craftsperson, and COSAS will arrange to ship your treasures back to Boerne, Texas. We stay in charming small hotels, eat well and leave enough free time in our schedules for your own leisure. Be sure to join us for a wonderful and different Folk Art buying experience.

Oaxaca and Surrounding Villages

March 14 - 21, 2010 We’re going to Oaxaca to buy for COSAS and want you to join us as we experience one of the most beautiful colonial cities in Mexico. Oaxaca is located at the convergence of 2 Sierra Madre ranges and offers dazzling mountain views and spring like weather year around. It is also one of the most important centers for folk art in Mexico and is home to hundreds of textile artisans.

A Wonderful Farewell Lunch

Lunch at Las Mananitas is one of the most beautiful afternoons in Mexico

We have received great feedback and enthusiasm from many of you about joining us on our trips. More advance planning was one of the things that you were looking for, so we've put this calendar together. As we get closer to these dates, we'll forward greater details about each itinerary, but you should get a pretty good overview of what our plans are from this outline. Remember the unique thing about our Folk Art trips is that we'll organize all your purchases and ship them back to Boerne when our journey is over - included in the cost.
