Holiday Tin Art with Popup Art School

Posted on by Lisa

Tuesday, November 25th 6-7:30pm in the Community Room

Register online starting November 11th at 9am.

Add festive flair to the season with this holiday-themed version of our popular Mexican Tin Art program! Using thin sheets of metal, you’ll learn simple techniques for cutting, scoring, and shaping to create shimmering tin artwork. Choose from cheerful designs such as a bird, candle, angel, or tree, then bring your creation to life with bright colors. The result is a sparkling piece of art that makes a perfect holiday decoration or gift.
