Learn to make Mexican paper flowers with Southwest Folklore Alliance artist and award winner Josephina Lizarraga. Materials for this workshop come from Guadalajara, Mexico. Up to 12 people can join this workshop.

Raised in Nayarit, Mexico, amidst rich vegetation and colorful flowers, Josefina Lizarraga learned about local flora and fauna from her mother, grandmothers, and elders. As a child she learned to make paper flowers from an artist in the pueblo of Ruiz and later from a Mexican-Chinese flower maker and dressmaker, who taught her to make paper flowers and to embroider. Lizarraga has been making paper flowers for 78 years and has demonstrated her craft at the annual Tucson Meet Yourself Festival for decades. 

Bring up to 12 of your closest friends (including you) to participate in this fun workshop!  Use them for Día de los Muertos or to add color to your home!
