Arte en Estambre Workshop with Francisco Loza

Join exhibiting artist and guest instructor Francisco Loza for a workshop focused on Arte en Estambre, an artistic technique that incorporates yarn and wax to create vibrant compositions full of texture, movement, and life. Loza is a self-taught artist who has spent two decades collaborating with Huichol artists and their communities in central Mexico, where he originally learned the Arte en Estambre technique. His artworks have been featured at the American Visionary Art Museum, Creative Alliance, the Studios at Key West, the Migration Policy Institute, and US Department of State in Washington, DC and are currently on view at Arlington Arts Center in the exhibition Francisco Loza: Visions of Culture, Dreams, and Nature. He has led workshops for students and teachers of all ages and skill levels in Mexico and the United States.
