Experience the Crocker's world-renowned collection and diverse exhibitions through discussion and artmaking, and let great art of the past and present inspire your own creative expression.

Celebrate the season of All Souls Day, Día de los Muertos, by joining artist Stan Padilla in the heritage arts process of making an ancestral sugar skull. Honor your loved ones with handmade, natural materials including herbs, dyes, spices, and grains. This hands-on approach is integrated with traditional myths, stories, and customs of the celebration. Each participant will take home a decorated skull.

Most classes include at least one gallery visit to view the permanent collection or a special exhibition. The Museum's highly trained staff and instructors are committed to providing students of all experience levels with a supportive and engaging experience.

Advance registration required. Supplies are included in the class fee.  

Instructor: Maestro Stan Padilla
