Date: June 4th, 5 - 7 pm
Location: University Baptist Church, 3200 W. Arlington Loop, Hattiesburg
This workshop is a creative exploration that invites participants to delve into the rich tapestry of Mexican folk traditions. Participants will be working with wooden crosses, hearts, and hands – all iconic symbols within Mexican culture. This hands-on experience promises a unique blend of artistic expression and cultural immersion.
Miracles Workshop: Decorating Heart, Crosses, and Hands
Taller de Milagros: Decorando Corazones, Crucifijos, y Manos
During the workshop, participants will have the opportunity to decorate these symbolic objects using an array of charms traditionally regarded as "milagros" or miracles in Mexico. These small, intricately crafted charms carry symbolic significance, often representing prayers,gratitude, or requests for divine intervention. The process of adorning the wooden crosses,hearts, and hands with these charms becomes a personal and communal act of storytelling,weaving together elements of faith, culture, and individual narratives.
​
The workshop aims to foster a sense of community, as participants share their stories and
interpretations through the art they create, offering both a glimpse into Mexican traditions and the opportunity to craft meaningful, personalized artworks.
