Light snacks + agua fresca provided. No prior experience necessary, just curiosity and open hands.

Together we'll:

  • Learn the steps of nixtamalization and how to operate a molino
  • Share tortillas and snacks prepared with the fresh masa we grind
  • Take home masa, a recipe zine, and tools to continue your masa journey at home


Workshop will be held in Spanglish, with Spanish/English translators on-site.ADA Service provided upon request.
