'Las Calveras': Skeleton Crafts and the Day of the Dead in Mexico - A Latino Heritage Month Event
“Calaveras” are much more than “skulls.” Around November 1-2 in Mexico, market stalls fill up with colorfully dressed skeletons made of sugar, cut paper, paper maché and pottery. This interactive workshop presents images of the “calavera” as social and political satire, and gives you the opportunity to poke fun at someone you love to tease by making your own skeleton puppet.
