Crear Catrinas = Create Catrinas, a Family Arts Program

Come together to create your own Catrina in the artistic style of Mexican artist, Claudia Navarro, illustrator of the bilingual picture book, La Divina Catrina. PLUS local Latina artist, Bertha Medina, will show how she creates her Catrina art, from a paper mache process that is inexpensive and easy for families to do at home (for catrinas, piñatas, or other creations.) This program will include bilingual instruction, and hands-on help from Spanish-speaking teen volunteers.

Face paints & stickers will be available for those who choose to decorate their faces, catrina-style. Plus, hands-on help in how anyone with a Marshalltown library card can use our new online ( coming soon) resource, Make Make, to read eBooks in Spanish on their own devices at home, at school, or on-the-go!

This free, hands-on program is for children 8 years through teen, or younger children with a caregiver. Pre-registration requested; walk-ins allowed as space permits. Call the library at 641-754-5738, ext. 3 to register or visit our online calendar: https://marshalltown.librarycalendar.com/event/crear-catrinas-create-catrinas-family-arts-program-9140
