Dia de los Muertos Art
In Mexico on November 1st and 2nd, Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), is a traditional holiday dedicated to the memory of departed loved ones. It is a day to celebrate and remember them with joy and thanks, rather than sorrow.
Altars are made in honor of friends and family members (even beloved pets!) and are displayed with bright colors, mementos, favorite snacks and decorations in a place of honor in the home.

We'll learn a little about this custom and build our own altars for people or pets who were dear to us.
Bring a photo or mementos to use in your project.

Saturday, October 24th          7-9 pm          cost: $30
Adult  •  class size is limited  •  Preregistration required

Altered Book Poetry: An All Day Workshop

Also known as Redacted, Blackout, or Found Poetry, this mixed media, recycled and somewhat free form class engages our imagination in two ways: with both visual art and creative word work.  Using pages from discarded books and magazines, words are redacted to create poetry from those remaining, and then the background is painted and colored to enhance the poem.

It's challenging and highly addictive!
All materials and catered lunch provided.

Saturday, November 14th    10 am - 3 pm            $75
