About
the Community
Day of the
Dead Art
Workshop
DIA
DE LOS MUERTOS
COMMUNITY ART
WORKSHOP FOR
ADULTS BOX
OFRENDA.
From
1-4 PM
on Saturday,
Oct 28,
Plowhaus
artists/ Cost
to Participate
- $20
An
“ofrenda”
is a
traditional
altar, usually
built in the
home, to honor
a departed
loved one. We
will discuss
the
traditional
elements of a
Dia de los
Muertos altar
(or offering),
then create
small personal
shrines to
celebrate the
lives of those
we have lost.
The result
will be a
unique and
personal work
of art that
engages both
tradition and
individual
expression.
Participants
are encouraged
(though not
required) to
bring a
photograph and
other small
items that
relate to the
person they
wish to honor.
A selection of
boxes and all
other art
materials will
be provided.
This workshop
is designed
for adults,
but young
people over 12
are welcome to
participate
with a grown
friend or
parent.
This
workshop is
limited to 10
participants.
