Kids Explore for Grades 3-5: Hojalata (Tin) Art

Pick up kit at Main Library from Jan 11 - Jan 17

Hojalata is a type of folk art made in Mexico using tin decorated with bright colors. Join us to learn about this art form and make a faux tin tile of your own.

If you would like to pick up the supplies at the Main Library Drive-up Window instead of inside the library at the youth desk, please call the youth desk at  847-429-4685 before you arrive at the library.

If you are unable to attend the event, please cancel your registration so a student on the waitlist can join the event.  We will be taking attendance at the programs and staff members reserve the right to move a registrant to the waitlist if they are found to be consistently absent from the zoom event part of the program.
