Discover the Workshop
In this culturally rich workshop, students create and design art projects based on traditional Mexican folk arts including pottery, weaving, and paper crafts. While learning some basic Spanish, students look at various examples of artwork from regions in Mexico and consider their historic significance. Students then create their own artworks inspired by whimsical wooden toys called “alejibres,” “hojalata” or tin artwork, the cut paper technique of “papel picado,” plus ceramics and more! On Friday there is a celebration with a piñata for friends and families to enjoy.
