Education Santa Fe 2024 is a different type of Rocky Mountain Region event in the “City Different,” which will be held May 1 – 4. There is a broad array of whole or half day classes so you have a chance to sample new techniques and smaller, less expensive classes at a reasonable registration fee. In addition to colcha we will have silk ribbon embroidery, bead embroidery, needlepoint, needlelace, blackwork and a finishing class.
If that hasn’t clinched it for you, there will be museum tours as well as lectures on a variety of topics. You can mix and match with classes as you see fit. We are keeping the registration fee to a minimum so you only pay for the classes and kits on an ala cart basis. There are no banquets which allows you to discover many wonderful restaurants in the historic plaza area which are walking distance from the hotel. Don’t forget to try the chili! What’s your favorite? Red or green?? Or Christmas?? And there will be a few fun little extra activities. For an overview of the daily schedule, click here.
Come join us at the end of the Santa Fe Trail. Take a journey back in time or explore the world of art and southwest culture. Visit the International Folk Art Museum and/or learn Colcha at the Museum of Spanish Colonial Arts and the Ralph T. Coe Center for the Arts with docent led tours. Our hotel is a five minute walk from The Historic Santa Fe Plaza, built in 1610, The Georgia O’Keefe Museum, Institute of American Arts Museum and Canyon Road where there are a multitude of art galleries. Also a short walk away is the historic Palace of the Governors, the oldest continually inhabited government building in the United States, and the Loretta Chapel with its “miraculous staircase” plus the Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi built in 1610. Needless to say, Santa Fe has a rich history for you to discover. Visit the Tourism Santa Fe website for more sites and museums.
We will feature a Prospector’s Exhibit with the theme, End of The Santa Fe Trail. Other fun activities you may choose to participate in are a silent auction and a smalls exchange.
We look forward to seeing in you Santa Fe!!
