This class will be taught in both English and Spanish.

About the Instructor
Based in Mexico, artist Carlos Lecanda’s artist portfolio includes calligraphy, metal engraving, painting, sculpture, and artisanal handicrafts. He is enthusiastic about sharing and teaching traditional handicrafts from Mexico, his birthplace, as many of these traditions are slowly disappearing.
