1:00 – 3:00 PM | All ages welcome

No school on Friday Nov. 5th means the perfect opportunity for families to get creative with artist Alondra M Garza! In this two-day, in-person class you will create your own piñata sculpture using cardboard, glue, crepe paper, and more! Learn more about this beautiful artistic tradition and build the “body” of the sculpture on Friday, then finish the colorful outer layer of the sculpture on Saturday. (ASL interpreter provided)
