Embossed Foil Folk Art Workshop

Celebrate the vibrant tradition of Mexican folk art while giving new life to everyday materials. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll transform recycled foil takeout containers and lightweight sheet metal into dazzling embossed hearts inspired by Milagro charms and sacred heart motifs.

Guided step by step, you’ll learn how to:
