Beyond their functional role, they served as expressive objects—representing animals, human figures, rituals, and everyday life. Their distinctive asa estribo (stirrup handle) is both structural and symbolic, making each piece instantly recognisable. Today, huacos continue to represent a strong connection to identity, heritage, and the continuity of making across generations.What can you expect? Families with children 8 years and over are invited to create their own huaquito—a small, personal interpretation of the traditional form. Guided through a hands-on process, they will shape, model, and construct their piece using red clay, focusing especially on the integration of the asa estribo, the defining element of the form.The session encourages intuitive making, imagination, and problem-solving, while introducing participants to thinking in three dimensions. It is both a creative and reflective experience, where each piece becomes a unique expression of personal narrative.All works will be bisque fired after the workshop, resulting in a finished object with a warm, natural surface—an artefact to collect from the gallery in the weeks following to remember the experience.This workshop is free as part of Culture Night 2026, however booking is mandatory as places are limited.All materials provided. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/0ef8aec0-a735-11f1-b98f-cbeba3585b3a-rimg-w1151-h740-dc088848-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/0f16be10-a735-11f1-b98f-cbeba3585b3a-rimg-w1200-h393-dc486848-gmir.png https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/0f2a4610-a735-11f1-b98f-cbeba3585b3a-rimg-w1200-h473-dc484848-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/0f3c6e80-a735-11f1-b98f-cbeba3585b3a-rimg-w1200-h368-dcf8f8f8-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/0f561100-a735-11f1-b98f-cbeba3585b3a-rimg-w1155-h740-dcf8f8f8-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/drogheda/huaquitos-culture-night-family-workshop-with-adriana-torress-escobedo/100001994679741803 - **Event Categories**: workshops, art, storytelling - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: EUR ## Event venue details - **city**: Drogheda - **state**: LH - **country**: Ireland - **location**: Highlanes Gallery - **lat**: 53.71543519999999 - **long**: -6.348471000000018 - **full address**: Highlanes Gallery, 36 Saint Laurence Street, Drogheda, Ireland ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Huaquitos - Culture Night Family Workshop with Adriana Torress Escobedo - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/2fb9b24ec3402c7fdf6deade20c6567f223cb0a0b38207def7564481d7fca834-rimg-w1200-h900-dcc8c8c8-gmir.jpg?v=1788398190 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Huaquitos - Culture Night Family Workshop with Adriana Torress Escobedo being held? - **A:** Huaquitos - Culture Night Family Workshop with Adriana Torress Escobedo takes place on Fri, 18 Sep, 2026 at 06:30 pm to Fri, 18 Sep, 2026 at 08:30 pm at Highlanes Gallery, 36 Saint Laurence Street, Drogheda, Ireland. - **Q**: Who is organizing Huaquitos - Culture Night Family Workshop with Adriana Torress Escobedo? - **A:** Huaquitos - Culture Night Family Workshop with Adriana Torress Escobedo is organized by Highlanes Gallery. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
