Discover the art of woven jewelry with Fashioning an Icon exhibiting artist, Mónica Díaz Martínez, a designer and artisan deeply rooted in her Oaxacan heritage. Inspired by her grandmother, who passed down the ancient craft of palm weaving practiced for generations, Mónica creates contemporary jewelry that honors this tradition while giving it a modern twist.

In this workshop, learn to weave a pair of earrings using raffia. Mónica will share how her jewelry-making practice preserves and reinvents this rich cultural art form. Create your own unique and meaningful creations while gaining insight into the significance of this timeless craft.
