Celebrate Your Special Moments with a Custom Piñata

Friday, October 23, 2026

10 am to 1:30 pm

Ages: 8 to 99

Cost: $95 per member, $105 per non-member 


Join us to create a small, custom-designed piñata in the shape of a fruit or animal using cardboard, glue, and tissue paper. This is a fun way to repurpose cardboard, junk mail, and paper bags. Maloof Teaching Artist Crystal Rodriguez will guide you through the process of shape-making and decoration. You will leave with a delightful desktop-sized piñata to take home!


All age groups are welcome, with participants under 13 requiring a paid adult companion. This workshop series was designed for art-minded families and adults.


Crystal Rodriguez-Leal is a visual artist, educator, and perpetual late bloomer. She obtained a bachelor's degree in art from Pitzer College in 2023. Ms. Rodriguez-Leal is a lifelong learner in the construction of her work, using new tools and materials frequently. Her current practice consists of assemblage, sculpture, installation, activation, and book arts as a means of conveying the interconnectedness and interdependence of all living things. Rodriguez-Leal specializes in improving arts access for adults, teens and families through advocacy, skillshares and teaching.

The Sam and Alfreda Maloof Foundation for Arts and Crafts acknowledges the Tongva peoples as the traditional land caretakers of Tovaangar (the Tongva world, including the Los Angeles Basin, South Channel Islands, San Gabriel and Pomona Valleys, and portions of Orange, San Bernardino, and Riverside Counties) and are grateful to have the opportunity to work for the Taraaxatom (Indigenous peoples) in this place. As institutions located on unceded Indigenous land, we pay our respects to Honuukvetam (ancestors), 'Ahiihirom (elders), and ̓Evoohiinkem (our relatives/relations) past, present, and emerging.
