Description

Unique Paper Mache Mexican Mask & Sacred Heart Making Class!

Create and hand-paint a paper mache mask and a Sacred Heart steeped in the rich cultural history of Mexico after getting an expert demo from artist Diego Rios.

Breathtakingly colorful masks have long been part of the Mexican celebration of Dia de los Muertos and other holidays. Sacred Heart artwork is common in Mexican culture. Sacred Heart forms are sometime used as an object to attach “Milagros” or religious folk charms. “Milagros” are traditionally used for healing purposes in Mexico and Southern United States.

Dive into the rich history of this paper mache tradition alongside internationally acclaimed artist Diego Rios, who overviews its fascinating background before giving a demo on the craft. Once you've got the basics down, roll up your sleeves to create and hand-paint your own one-of-a-kind masterpiece.
