Bring pictures or small items if you want to incorporate these into your creation.

Cultures worldwide have their traditions and days for honoring their dead; All Souls' Day, All Saints' Day, Halloween, and Samhain, to name but a few, are all celebrations with spiritual, often sacred significance. The dates of October 31-November 2 are times to demonstrate our love for those who have passed and heal through these connections. We will have a brief overview of these traditions and some that take place at different times throughout the year before we begin our craft.

Some materials provided. R = Registration required.
