Air Plant Terrarium

A little horticulture therapy is good for the soul and mother earth. Choose a glass container and add sand, stones, moss, and other natural elements to create a terrarium. Next, paint a wood block to use as the base, and assemble with a live air plant.

Glass for this project is from thrift stores and donations, and air plants are purchased locally at Back Alley Plants. Reduce – reuse – recycle.

Hispanic-Latino/a/e Heritage Month Craft: Sagrado Corazón

Also known as a Sacred Heart or flaming heart, it represents love, healing, and gratitude, and is one of the most common symbols in Mexican religious art. Employing folk art traditions of mixing religious iconography (Spanish origins) with the traditional Mesoamerica flare for bold color, the hearts are often depicted with flames, rays of light, thorns, a dagger, or a cross, and each representation holds a slightly different meaning.

They come in various materials, but we will create a tin version and invite you to decorate it with patterns in brightly colored paint, gems, glitter, and other adornments. More information about the history of this and other folk art crafts is available at The Workspace.

Hispanic-Latino/a/e Heritage Month Craft: Alebrije

Alebrije are sculptures that combine elements from animals such as cats, fish, bird’s feet, and bat’s wings into fantastical beings. They were first created by Pedro Linares Lopez, a Mexican artist who dreamed of these creatures in the 1930s while falling in and out of consciousness during a serious illness. After recovery, Lopez brought his visions to life through brightly painted paper mache sculptures. Now, many alebrijes are carved from copal wood by indigenous families in the villages of Oaxaca, Mexico, and we were able to source an assortment of small sculptures for our painting craft.
