No birthday celebration is complete without a piñata, so why not learn to make your own? As part of our 25th anniversary festivities, join HCCC for a piñata-making workshop with local artist Catalina Calderon, founder and lead sculptor of Smash and Pull Piñata.

In this beginner friendly workshop, participants will learn to craft three-dimensional forms using papier-mâché, cardboard, and tissue paper. Learn the mechanics of working with paper, and leave with a finished piñata ready for your next party!
