Teen Open Studio: Día de los Muertos Nichos workshop with Raquel Garcia

In this free workshop, participants will create their own nichos—small, decorative shadow boxes rooted in Mexican folk art traditions. These vibrant pieces can be used to honor a loved one, highlight a favorite quote, or showcase a meaningful image or artwork.

Using accessible materials like foam board and recycled boxes, you’ll construct and personalize your nicho with paint, glitter, rhinestones, old jewelry, stickers, and more. This hands-on session invites you to explore personal storytelling through color, texture, and symbolism.
