Lead a workshop at Calaveritas

As proud guardians of this beautiful tradition, we invite artisans, artists, folklore dancers and Day of the Dead enthusiasts to bring their creativity to life through fun, hands-on workshops for children and their families.

Together, we can share the colours, stories, and joyful spirit of Día de Muertos with the next generation.

We are also calling all talented make-up artists to help transform children, parents, and even grandparents into fabulous Catrinas and Catrines.
