Create a Day of the Dead Skull


Celebrate Halloween and Day of the Dead with a beautifully decorated skull.

On November 1 and 2 in Mexico and throughout the U.S., The Dia de los Meurtas (Day of the Dead) skull is used to celebrate and remember those who have passed on. People go to cemeteries to be with their departed and decorate their homes and graves with these skulls, along with favorite foods and flowers. Some believe the skulls and other Day of the Dead items bring good luck.
Join artist Kath Piros, as we paint (with paint pens), glitter and bling up a skull mask during the workshop.
Cost: $15 which includes all of the materials!
