Join us for a fun craft session to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month. Amate is an ancient tradition of paper making from Mexico, made from the pulp of the fig and mulberry trees. In the State of Guerrero, amate paper is brightly decorated with beautiful scenes depicting everyday life of the villagers, such as the harvest, fiestas, weddings, religious customs and wildlife.
