March 31, 2024 4

The Rehoboth Art League will welcome guest artist Francisco Loza to teach traditional Mexican pressed yarn art form to older children and adults Saturday, April 13, at 12 Dodds Lane, Henlopen Acres.

The class for 9- to 15-year-olds will meet from 10 a.m. to noon, and the class for ages 16 and above is set for 2 to 4 p.m.

Arte en estambre (pressed yarn art) practitioners incorporate yarn and wax to create vibrant compositions full of texture, movement and life. Loza is a self-taught artist who has spent 20 years collaborating with Huichol artists and their communities in central Mexico, where he originally learned the technique.

Cost is $40 for members or $50 for nonmembers. To register, go to rehobothartleague.org.
