In collaboration with the Crucible, the Exploratorium presents the Art of Cartonería with Ruben Guzman. Cartonería is a papier maché technique for making three-dimensional sculptures that has evolved into a traditional and highly-prized Mexican art. Introduced by the Spanish as a way to make objects for churches, the sculptures may take the form of mythological beasts, demons, angels, dragons, or even political figures.
