Day of the Dead/ Día de los Muertos is a meaningful holiday that commemorates the lives of the dearly departed and welcomes their spirits to return home.Among the many loving traditions, rituals, and symbols seen in Day of the Dead celebrations, one of the most prominent elements is the Ofrenda.
An Ofrenda is an altar where offerings and photos are placed to honor and remember the dead for Día de los Muertos. Offerings like foods, flowers, and other items of significance to the departed are often included.
As we move into fall, we are getting ready to celebrate Día de los Muertos in our own special way by holding a 2-part mini ceramic Ofrenda workshop. Our artist instructor, Georgina Osuna-Diaz, will teach participants about the traditions and symbolism of Día de los Muertos and guide you to make your own Ofrenda out of clay.
The first day of the workshop will involve creating your ofrenda and all the elements to adorn it. The second day of the workshop will involve the painting/glazing and decoration of the pieces.
The following week, after pieces have been glazed, your custom handmade ofrenda will be fired in our kilns and ready for you to take home just in time for Día de los Muertos.
Further details are available on our website, where you can also register.
*Please note: you MUST register either online or by calling us at 912-212-2787 prior to the workshop.
