If you know about Mexican art, for sure you must be familiarized with alebrijes. Alebrijes are a tradition with more than one hundred years that was born in Mexico City, not in Oaxaca. They are created through imagination by combining different animals and at times, plants, into a single creature, and they represent either the moster inside you or your inner powers reflected in the creature. Alebrijes can have wings, tails, different faces and anything you can imagine. The alebrijes created in our workshops are small, in the sense that the size is similar to an adults hand. In our workshop peaple complete the alebrije in 3 hours.
