Grab a drink and get creative with these classes designed to guide beginners as well as bring new skills to experienced artists and crafters. Beer, wine, fizzy water, and snacks are available to purchase.

Learn about the history, symbolism and cultural significance of a traditional ofrenda (altar), the central feature of the Mexican and Guatemalan holiday Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead). Participants will make a three-dimensional book with a tunnel-like visual effect of layered cutouts for each level of the altar for the dead.
