Class Description

Description

To celebrate Dia de los Muertos we will be hosting a ceramic ofrenda class in Los Angeles Historic Park, next to the main bridge in the park. 100% of the proceeds will be donated to Border Angels-a nonprofit organization that advocates for human rights, humane immigration reform, and social justice with a special focus on issues related to the US-Mexican border.

During Dia de los Muertos it is believed that loved ones who have passed come visit us from beyond, or Mictlán which is the underworld from Aztec mythology.

Ofrendas are altars with offerings for the loved ones that are being remembered. Traditionally, these are made on a collective scale or in the form of community altars.

The fundamentals of sculpting such as how to construct a solid base for your project, along with coil and pinch techniques will be reviewed. No experience is required.

Pieces will then be taken to the ceramic studio to dry, be fired, and ready for pick up 3 weeks from the class date.


Spanish / Español Translation:

Para celebrar Día de los Muertos, organizaremos una clase de ofrenda de cerámica en el Parque Histórico de Los Ángeles, al lado del puente principal del parque. 100% de las ganancias se donará a Border Angels, una organización sin fines de lucro que aboga por los derechos humanos, una reforma migratoria humana y la justicia social con un enfoque especial en temas relacionados con la frontera entre Estados Unidos y México.

Durante el Día de los Muertos se cree que los seres queridos que han fallecido vienen a visitarnos desde el más allá, o Mictlán, que es el inframundo de la mitología azteca.

Las Ofrendas son altares con ofrendas para los seres queridos que se están recordando. Tradicionalmente, estos se realizan a escala colectiva, teniendo un altar comunitario, o en ocasiones parte de la tradición de pasar toda la noche en la tumba de nuestros seres queridos.

En esta clase única, se guiará a los estudiantes sobre cómo esculpir su propia pequeña criatura u objeto único dedicado a alguien que falleció. En esta clase se enseñarán los fundamentos de la escultura, como los cuerpos de arcilla recomendados, cómo construir una base sólida para su proyecto y la historia cultural del Día de los Muertos. Luego, las piezas se llevarán al estudio de cerámica para que se sequen, se cocinen y estén listas para ser recogidas 3 semanas después de la fecha de la clase.

Refund Policy

Please notify us 40 hours in advance so we can coordinate with our teacher to account for material prep time or if there is a waitlist.

In any event where a customer wants to cancel their enrollment and is eligible for a full refund, a 5% processing fee will be deducted from the refund amount.
