We want to share information about our artisan workshops that we offer in Piña Palmera, in Zipolite. Come join and have some fun!
Our workshops are a collaboration between people with and without disabilities, and are open to the local community as well as travelers who are interested in socially-conscious activities while traveling:
CLAY: Each week we offer a clay workshop. This is a great opportunity for people of all ages, with and without disabilities, to take part in the creative process of working with clay. Our clay workshop is the only one with a fixed schedule, Wednesdays (3:00pm to 5:00pm) and Saturdays (10:00am to 12:00pm).
BIRD MOBILE PAINTING: The painting workshop is where we create our signature birds. In this workshop, you have the opportunity to see how we build our birds, and then paint the body of the birds with wings that are already decorated. We'll assemble your bird mobile for you so you can take it with you!
COCONUT OIL: Have you ever wondered how coconut oil is made? In this workshop, you'll learn step-by-step how we make our artisan, cold-pressed coconut oil. You'll start by chopping coconuts and trying the coconut fruit, the manzana. After drying the coconut meat, we use a bicycle mill and hand press to extract the coconut oil. Included in the cost of this workshop is a bottle of our own artisanal coconut oil.
RECYCLED PAPER: In Piña Palmera we make a variety of recycled paper products from diaries to notebooks to picture frames to single sheets. During this workshop, you'll learn how we make our recycled paper, which is possible to do at home! You'll also learn how we color our paper using local plants such as bougainvillea. You'll take sheets of recycled paper with you after the workshop!
WORM COMPOSTING: We have worm composting in Piña with California red wigglers. Come see how our food breaks down naturally when it isn't tossed into the landfill. The worms play an important role in creating a rich natural fertilizer, perfect for a garden. This workshop is a favorite for the little ones!
