This hands-on workshop offers a brief introduction to the history and cultural significance of maíz and nixtamal, followed by an interactive session where we will grind maíz into masa using a molino (stone mill) followed by an interactive tortilla-making activity. 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.

This project is supported in part by the City of Austin Economic Development Department.
