Paper Mache is a material that was traditionally used to make dolls and other toys during the time of the Mexican Revolution. This distinctive tradition, although it is struggling to survive, is still alive today in some towns in Mexico. Join us for a unique workshop on the rich Mexican tradition of paper Mache doll making. Participants will learn the history and custom of the Mexican paper Mache doll and be introduced to storytelling and design techniques to make their own paper doll.
