This October, step into the season of remembrance and creativity with a collage workshop inspired by the Book of Ancestors* and the traditions of Día de los Muertos.Carmen will help you explore basic collage techniques while creating layered works of art that honor those who came before us. Using paint, paper, glue, vintage images, and found materials, you’ll learn how to cut, arrange, and assemble pieces into meaningful compositions that reflect both personal stories and universal themes of connection across generations.
You’ll will leave with a finished collage that feels like a page torn from your own “book of ancestors,” a keepsake to display or add to an altar of remembrance during Día de los Muertos.
• No prior experience necessary — just curiosity and a willingness to experiment.
• Bring photocopies of your own family photographs, letters, or small mementos that can be used to create your one-of-a-kind collage.
• Canvas and remaining supplies are included.
• This might get messy, so please dress accordingly.
Class Fee $55 / Ages 16+ / Class size limited.
Pre-registration required by Friday, October 3 at https://historicholmestheatre.csstix.com/tickets.php?type=general-admission&c=1604&e=1767&d=2625
