Family Art Workshop: Hudson River Molas

Mola is a form of textile art that traditionally forms parts of women’s clothing among the Guna, the indigenous people of Panama and Colombia. Oftentimes, animals would be depicted on molas. In this workshop celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month, create your own mola using construction paper and glue in place of cloth and thread, and decorate it with animals that can be found in the Hudson River Valley.

Recommended for ages 4+.
