Inspired by hojalata, a traditional tin embossing practice found throughout Latin American folk art, this workshop explores a hands-on approach to embossing using everyday materials. The process is adapted with foil to make it accessible, portable, and easy to continue at home.

Inside the Workshop:
✽ 3 templates: Sun, Heart, and Strawberry
✽ A step-by-step take-home guided process
✽ Time to sketch your own design
✽ Hands-on instruction and support throughout

Leave with a finished embossed piece and the confidence to keep creating beyond the workshop!
