About the event

Join us for this workshop! Participants will learn about the traditional setup of a Mexican kitchen, including using trasteros (open cupboards) that hold plates and cups within easy reach. Following this, Danny Tepi will guide everyone in painting and decorating a mini-trastero.

Workshop Details:

A trastero, a staple in traditional Mexican homes, is a cupboard or open cabinet used to store kitchenware. During our workshop, participants will learn about traditional Mexican kitchens and paint and decorate a mini Trastero, complete with small ceramic pieces.

Advance registration is required due to limited space. The workshop is exclusively for adults.

All materials are included.
