Prepare for Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) by learning to make Calavera masks in this workshop in Oakland. This is a traditional Mexican folk art form that puts intention into honoring and welcoming the souls of the dead from October 28th-November 1st. It is a reminder that you are alive, breathing, and although life is fleeting, there is no fear.
