Teens: Hojalata (Tin Art)
Arts

Teens: Hojalata (Tin Art) is a free, hands-on crafting workshop where teenagers and young adults can learn the traditional Mexican art of embossing metal sheets. Participants will design and create their own shiny, textured tin artwork to take home at the end of the session. This two-hour class is designed specifically for teenagers and young adults, and all necessary art supplies are provided at no cost. The workshop takes place at the Athens Drive Community Library, which shares a campus with Athens Drive High School, meaning there is plenty of free parking available in the main lot. You do not need to bring any tools, but your teen may want to bring a sketch of a simple design they want to transfer onto the metal. It is a smart weekend pick because it gives older kids a creative outlet of their own without breaking your budget. Finding weekend activities tailored specifically to the teen crowd can be challenging, and this library program offers a structured, social environment where they can learn a new skill.
