About the event
Join us for an exclusive workshop where Danny Tepi will lead participants in basic techniques of designing and assembling jewelry inspired by Mexican culture.
About the workshop:
Participants will design and craft one jewelry set using exquisite crystals and ornamental palm beads sourced directly from Guerrero, Mexico. This hands-on experience is tailored for beginners, making it perfect for those without jewelry-making experience.
All materials will be provided.
Advance registration is required due to limited space. The workshop is exclusively for adults.
Workshop Facilitator
Danny Tepi was raised in Puebla and New York and has always had a deep passion for crafting and a natural aptitude for it. He creates leather goods, jewelry, and various Mexican crafts. Raised by his grandparents, he has a strong connection to Mexican traditions. One of his earliest memories involves the family coming together to prepare offerings for the altar, a practice to pay homage to their ancestors.
