There are many teachers available who are able to come to the Bosque to give classes, or host interested students in their studios around the Lake Pátzcuaro area. Some classes are only offered in Spanish. If you do not know Spanish and wish to take one of these classes, you may need to pay extra for a translator.

The following are descriptions of some of the classes we can arrange for you to enjoy. These classes are not included in the price of your stay at the Bosque. We can arrange for you to take the class, but you will pay the teacher directly. We do not take commission on the classes offered.

Class availability depends on the time of year and the teacher's schedule. Be sure to indicate in your visitor application if you want to take a class.
