The Piñata as a Narrative
2640 Historic Decatur Road, San Diego, 92106
Cost: $30 - $45
A Contemporary Piñata Workshop with Artist Diana Benavidez at Shop Mingei: In this workshop, you will use the piñata as an object of expression by decorating and/or manipulating a piñata to convey a personal narrative or message. This workshop will encourage you to experiment with color, pattern, text, images, and objects not commonly found in traditional piñata-making techniques. Alongside the history and folklore of piñatas, Benavidez will share her own hybrid methods of using this craft for expression and storytelling.
