VENTURA — Sunday, November 3, 2-4 p.m. at the Museum of Ventura County, 100 E.Main St., Ventura.
Nicho-making with Elisa Torres. Drawing from Mexican and Latinx traditions, Torres will guide participants in creating personalized nichos—small, shrine-like boxes that honor memories and cultural identity.
Explore the art of nicho-making with Elisa Torres, a featured artist in our InnoVision exhibition. In this workshop, you’ll create a nicho, a decorative shadow box rooted in Mexican/Latinx culture, often used to honor loved ones, particularly during Día de los Muertos.
Using upcycled materials, Elisa will guide you through crafting your own unique nicho, where participants can also incorporate personal photos or keepsakes for added meaning. Open to artists of all skill levels. Participants must be 12 or older, with adult supervision.
