Join us for a heartfelt Día de los Muertos workshop where we come together to honor our ancestors through creativity, reflection, and tradition. This special event will be a celebration of life and memory, as we build a communal altar with photos and offerings for our loved ones who have passed.
Throughout the workshop, participants will:
* Create a personal mixed-media shrine on canvas, using meaningful materials and symbols to honor the spirits of their ancestors. You’re invited to bring small photos, fabric, written notes, or other lightweight mementos to incorporate into your artwork.
* Craft beautiful paper marigolds and papel picado, traditional symbols of remembrance representing the beauty and impermanence of life, to decorate the altar or take home as meaningful offerings.
* Reflect on the significance of the holiday through guided meditation and journaling, exploring how we can carry the love and wisdom of our ancestors into our daily lives.
We’ll close with a candle-lighting ritual, illuminating our shared altar and offering gratitude for the generations that came before us.
Feel free to bring photos of loved ones and any special offerings (flowers, candles, food, or small mementos) to add to our altar. Together, we’ll create a sacred space of remembrance—full of light, color, and connection.
All art materials will be provided, and no prior experience is necessary. This workshop is open to all who wish to connect with their heritage, celebrate loved ones, or explore the traditions of Día de los Muertos.
