Join Claudia Berumen for a fun and creative workshop inspired by hojalata, a traditional Mexican craft that transforms metal into colorful, embossed designs! This popular folk art technique involves cutting, engraving, and painting to create decorative pieces such as ornaments, mirrors, and wall art. Learn about its rich history and create your own unique hojalata-inspired piece with embossed aluminum. Enjoy pan dulce from a local bakery and agua fresca while you work.
Member adults $35, non-member adults $45, children 12 and under $15. For ages 6 and up, and children must be accompanied by an adult. Space is limited, so register online today:
