During our time together we will be building relationships with one another. Talking and community are essential to the preparation of a good meal. Food is medicinal, ancestral, and radical. Tamales are a Mesoamerican dish, spanning across Mexico and Latin America, transforming with their environments and surviving colonization. Let’s learn, share, and eat together.

Our tamales will be made with pork, lard, masa, guajillo chiles, onions, garlic, and seasonings. Each person will take home 10-12 tamales.

Bring a lunch. Microwave and toaster oven are available.

CENTER FOR PEOPLE AND CRAFT is committed to building a diverse, inclusive learning community where people of all backgrounds feel welcome and able to participate. As we launch our first workshop series, we are dedicating space in each class for reduced-tuition scholarships to support anyone facing financial barriers. As we build a more robust scholarship program, we hope this initial launch will remove barriers and expand access to hands-on learning for all.

Anyone with financial need is encouraged to apply for a half-tuition scholarship. To be considered, please submit a brief online application. Please note that CENTER FOR PEOPLE AND CRAFT is operating with limited financial resources and an entirely volunteer staff. Therefore, we cannot guarantee a spot for every applicant. Each class has one scholarship slot available. Applicants who are not selected in this current round are welcome to reapply.  Apply here
