Workshop: Clay Sculptures and Pendants (260430)

Join us for a fun, interactive workshop to decorate and paint small clay sculptures and pendants. No prior experience is necessary.

About the workshop: 

The art of clay or pottery in Mexico is a tradition that originated in pre-Hispanic times. Today, the catrinas from Michoacan and the Tree of Life from Metepec are well-known traditions. Join us for this workshop and learn more about pottery while decorating small sculptures and pendants made from Mexican clay. Take a piece of Mexico home.
