National Museum of Mexican Art
Page Tools
In this workshop, we will explore diverse textures and natural materials that will provide us with a rich color palette. Afterward, we will paint our own nahual, a spiritual guide who will always accompany us. Through this connection with the brush and sculpture, each participant will immerse themselves in the deep, ancient Zapotec culture, creating a unique piece full of meaning.
The nahuales come from the workshop of Jacobo and Maria Ángeles. This workshop will be led in Spanish by their son, Ricardo Ángeles.
This workshop is for ages 13+. There is a non-refundable fee of $50 that covers all necessary materials. To register, contact angela@nationalmuseumofmexicanart.org.
