Get ready to draw, glue, and yarn-ify your art!

This week, kids will explore two exciting art traditions from Mexico: Huichol yarn painting and Talavera tile design. Huichol artists create textured pictures using bright yarn, while Talavera tiles are known for bold colors, repeating patterns, and mirror-image designs. You’ll combine these ideas to design your own Yarn Painting Talavera, using symbols, colors, and patterns that show who you are—animals, sports, nature, family traditions, and more.

You’ll also learn to weave on a wooden loom, creating colorful textile pieces while practicing over-under patterns and adding fun details like beads, pom-poms, and yarn textures.

This hands-on, project-based week is full of color, creativity, and self-expression. You’ll head home with unique artwork that’s truly one of a kind—just like you!
