Rihanna Loves Piñatas From This LA Artist | Master Craft
This is a experience we wish to protect and share with the world as we create through the ups and downs we face.
Pinata makers are now sharing their works more than ever in spite of the ever growing challenges that over seas, "sweatshop labor", type of products pose to local makers and artists in this industry.
We wish to relay the value in our cultures traditional art forms as they are pieces meant to bring people together to celebrate for an important moment in time with another.
