Metal Art (Hojalata)
is a project I teach to children and adults
The session lasts about 2 hours - it just depends on the level of detail people want to do, and also how many they want to make!
Materials are provided
Originally inspired by Mexican Street Art called Hojalata, which is making impressions in metal. We use graded aluminium that is thin and malleable with simple, everyday tools!
