Join visual artist Brioch for a two-hour, hands-on workshop exploring the rich traditions of Mexico’s Day of the Dead through art-making. Participants will create a nicho—a small, decorated shadow box honoring a departed loved one—using a vibrant mix of materials such as ribbons, acrylic paints, and patterned papers.

With inspiration from sample pieces and the freedom to follow your own vision, you’ll create a nicho that’s both personal and meaningful. Whether you’re commemorating someone special or simply curious about a new artistic practice, this workshop invites heartfelt reflection, experimentation, and creative exploration.

All materials will be provided—just bring your imagination.

Advance registration is required. The recommended age is 16+. Register online.
