Join visual artist Brioch for a two-hour, hands-on workshop celebrating the rich traditions of Mexico’s Day of the Dead through art-making. Explore the holiday’s rich symbolism as you craft your own miniature skeleton sculptures using cardboard and papier-mâché. Let your creativity shine as you design and paint your unique skeletons—ready-made examples will be available for inspiration, while unfinished pieces await your personal touch. This workshop encourages playful experimentation and creative discovery.

All materials will be provided—just bring your imagination.

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