Celebración de los Muertos: Papel Picado and Paint & Sip Workshops
Papel Picado: Monday Sept 28th, 6PM-8PM
Paint & Sip: Friday Oct 9th, 6PM-8PM
Celebrate the beauty and tradition of Día de los Muertos, and join us for two creative workshops.
On September 28th, try your hand at the ancient art of Papel Picado. Discover the tradition and technique behind one of Día de los Muertos' most iconic and colorful art forms — cutting intricate patterns into tissue paper to create your very own decorative banner to take home. The evening will also feature themed light bites available for purchase, and access to a cash bar.
On October 9th, pick up a brush and attend our festive Paint & Sip night. Enjoy a guided painting session in a relaxed social setting, a themed cocktail menu created exclusively for this event, and your own vibrant masterpiece to take home at the end of the evening.
The Papel Picado Workshop is complimentary with your Paint & Sip ticket purchase. Join us both days for fun, unique experiences!
