Summer of Fun: Nicho Box Making

5 August 2022

Time: 13:30 - 15:30

Children's workshop

Nicho Boxes are decorative shrine’s seen often in Mexican folk traditions which combine multiple media and repurposed materials to commemorate loved ones or saints. The workshop on the 5th of August will see the attendees making their own personalised Nicho folk art boxes based on something or someone they are inspired by in their own lives. 

This session is aimed at children aged 12-16.

Parents, guardians, or carers can attend the workshop if needed without additional payment. Children under the age of 8 must be accompanied by a legal guardian.

Please contact [email protected] if you require more information on our COVID-19 policy or would like to request additional access support.



This summer Mostyn has partnered with CARN to deliver a free programme of artist-led workshops and activities over the six week summer holidays. 

Aimed for ages 6-11 and 12-16, these workshops invite young people to explore new materials and processes inspired by our current exhibition Temporary Atlas: Mapping the Self in the Art of Today. The sessions will give young people that chance to create new works which use mapping to explore themes of identity, spirituality, subconscious, feeling and memory.

These free activities have been made possible with a grant from Welsh Government.
