Learn how to make piñatas from expert artisans! The Mexic-Arte Museum is offering Piñata-Making Workshops hosted by Monica and Sergio Lejarazu every Sunday in October through the 25th. Using papier-mâché, you’ll learn the creation of sugar skull piñatas, inspired by the tradition of Calaveras (“skulls”) in Dia de los Muertos, which have been used in Mexico since the 17th Century. Your artwork can be used in the grand parade during the annual Viva la Vida Festival.
