Workshop Mini Trasteros

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:

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