Speakeasy Happy Hour with Tia Flores – Pyrographic Calabaza
Posted on July 20, 2016 by admin

Tonight’s lecture is from artist Tia Flores. Flores was spurred by a desire to know more about her ancestors, and her creations have evolved into culturally-themed works including vessels, drums, masks and jewelry. Her designs are a reflection of her two families. From her mother’s mother, she is greatly influenced by the harsh beauty of the Nevada desert. From her father’s mother, she is drawn to the rich cultures of the Aztec and Navajo people. With an emphasis on pyrography (wood-burning), her intricate designs can be found on gourds, vessels, drums, masks, totems and jewelry.
