Intricate and colorful, the geometric patterns of Mayan embroidery techniques will be a jumping-off point for the Kids Create workshop Sunday at the San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles.
Aimed at kids from 5 to 10 years old, the Kids Create workshops, which meet the first Sunday of each month, focus on multicultural art activities, often tied into museum exhibitions like 'Modern Maya: Huipils From the Collection of Paul and Kathleen Vitale,' which opens Tuesday and runs through May 1. For this week's Kids Create event, youngsters will learn about the symbols and embroidery methods of the Mayans and apply them to making bookmarks, which they will be able to take home with them.
