Boruca Mask Laser Workshop with Ricardo Solis

Boruca masks are handcrafted, hand-painted, and often carved from lightweight balsa wood by the indigenous Boruca people of southern Costa Rica. Originally representing "diablitos" (little devils) in a traditional dance against Spanish invaders, these unique art pieces often feature vibrant nature, wildlife, and warrior themes.

In this workshop you will paint your own version of a Boruca mask made with reused, laser-cut materials!
