Art Class: Mexican Skull Painting

Paint your own Day of the Dead skull with traditional motifs.

The Mexican Day of the Dead is a religious festival to pay respects to family members who have passed away, and it takes place every year on 1 & 2 November. Families make altars at home and leave offerings of food and marigolds at gravesides of the departed. It is also common to give gifts of calaveras to the living  – decorated sugar skulls.

In this two hour class you will design and paint a small 3D skull with traditional, and brightly coloured Mexican patterns.
