| Carroll spent the day working on tortillas, clipping them to a hemp line in the window ... Fun, colorful, experimental and ephemeral. Strollers-by (even those in strollers!) smiled at the sight. "Whooooaaaaa! They painted ON TORTILLAS!?" - an inspired five-year-old.) |

| Craft in America Center's resident artist, Christina Carroll, hanging tortillas to dry ... |
Mentioned on KCET's website for Events on Saturday, 4 May!
In the spirit of Cinco de Mayo, Craft in America Center tipped its sombrero to Mexican heritage on Cuatro de Mayo with a
print/painting demo by artist Christina Carroll.
The artist printed and painting on tortillas using hand cut stencils in shapes symbolic of this festival
celebrating the 1862 triumph of the Mexican Army over French forces in the city
of Puebla. As the tortillas are transformed into art, they will be hung up to
dry, building a festive atmosphere.
