Spend time together as a family as you each create a Mexican mask.

Discover the colourful and fantastical world of Mexican alebrijes in this creative family workshop with Mexican artist Ale Bravo.

Ale Bravo will introduce families to alebrijes, the extraordinary creatures of Mexican folk art, before guiding children and grown-ups in designing and creating their own alebrije-inspired mask to take home.

A fun, hands-on workshop for families to create together while discovering a little more about Mexican art and culture.

Each person attending (adults and children) needs to book a ticket. The workshop is suitable for adults and children and we know that people of all ages will have fun creating a mask, but there is an option for adults to accompany children without making a mask themselves.

“Ale Bravo creates such a warm and engaging atmosphere. The workshop was not only fun and hands-on, but also a beautiful way to learn more about Mexican traditions and folk art.” (workshop participant)
