The Huichol Indians of Mexico are known for their yarn paintings. The Huichols take beeswax which they melt in the sun, and spread it over a piece of wood. They then push coloured yarn into the wax to create images.

In this class, we will be adapting the Huichol method and will be creating a yarn painting using glue and yarn!

You are eligible to attend three art/craft classes per quarter (September - November 2022). 

Please note: Due to extreme demand, you may only attend each of these classes once a year. 

 - Watercolor Art Classes 

 - Acrylic Art Classes

 - Flower Arranging 

If you register for one of these high demand craft classes, and you have already attended that particular class in 2022, your registration will be cancelled.
