Otomi embroidery is the Mexican embroidery style known as "Tenangos", using vibrant colors, and unique floral and animal designs. Each Otomi piece is hand embroidered on Ivory muslin by Otomi artisans.
Otomi textiles represent a great Mexican tradition that has been passed from generation to generation. The Otomi designs are symbols based on native flora and fauna of the Otomi region. The animals and flowers in this Mexican embroidery represent the daily events of the Otomi culture in which we will appreciate animals such as deer, birds, rabbits, etc.

This orientation session will introduce participants to the Cricut & Sublimation services we offer at the library. Those who complete the orientation will then be able to request supervised time to use the Cricut and Sublimation services at any HCPL branch that has one.
Attending this orientation is mandatory before patrons can request time to use a Cricut/Sublimation Printer in the future.
