About
A family workshop at Casa de México where kids and parents make papel picado, the cut-paper banners that hang at every Mexican fiesta, plus paper versions of the orange marigolds that cover Day of the Dead altars. You hear how families mark the day across Mexico, then take the decorations home for your own altar. Led by paper artists Diana Ramírez and Andrea Guerrero.
