Capes & Cakes
What happens when you give grown-ups permission to play? Capes & Cakes was a joyful collaboration led by artist Elena Beale and Julia Stewart, where textile art, printmaking and baking came together in pure creative delight.
Participants painted antique cotton with clay slip, stamped their designs using fruits and vegetables, and hand-sewed their very own capes. In the final session, we baked and decorated whimsical cakes, because every good adventure deserves a celebration.
It all ended at the Vamos a Ver exhibition, a toast to creativity, community and play: draped in handmade capes, sharing homemade cake and sipping cava.

In their words
From MINCA’s community
One of the best places in Barcelona to slow down and just experience creativity in its purest form.
A refreshing and energizing take on the creative process and personal development.
MINCA has shown me how to use words, colors, and movement to find my natural and instinctive ways of expression.
