Popping Through the History of Popcorn - waitlist available In-Person

Program is full. Waitlist is available.

 

From garlands worn by young Aztec girls to honor the rain god Tlaloc to its status as a beloved movie-time treat around the world, popcorn has a fascinating story. Learn who first popped corn, explore early recipes that used it as an ingredient, discover the invention of the popcorn machine, and trace how popcorn became a movie-theater favorite with Maite Gomez-Rejon from ArtBites. Participants will enjoy a hands-on activity where you’ll create your own unique popcorn mixes to enjoy and take home. 

Space is limited to 25 participants. The class will last for 90 minutes. Registration will begin Monday, March 30th.
