In the summer of 2018 I’ll be teaching several adults-only workshops on making and decorating tabletop piñatas. The first four classes are called “Monumental Piñatas” events (because they’re based on creatures and plants found in the Berryessa Snow Mountain National Monument), and the last two classes art called “Art/Nature Fusion” events.
