We are super excited for our upcoming summer camp for adults, J.A.M.! Learning traditional crafts, recipes from different Latin American countries and more!
Read on to learn more about the instructor on deck to teach you how to make your very own cajita de muertos (Day of the Dead shadowbox), and sign up for a class today!
I have been creating a variety of Mexican art for about
three years. My interest grew when I started making simple magnets with the
images from the Lotería, or Mexican Bingo. I grew up playing Mexican Bingo with
my mom and sisters and the images have always been so appealing to me,
especially La chalupa! I also gained a great interest in making shadow boxes of
various types, while using iconic images of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera.
Creativity with Mexican arts and crafts has allowed me to learn so much more
about the culture and to inspire others to keep it alive!
This workshop will focus on making a variety of shadow boxes while utilizing famous Mexican art images. Color will be highly emphasized, as the boxes will be painted with many different colors that will fit ones taste and creativity. The boxes will represent individual uniqueness, while maintaining traditional aspects of the vibrant culture.
