Sugar Skull Creation Workshop for Day of the Dead at ART VallARTa ART VallARTa
go to original October 16, 2014

Come make edible Sugar Skulls for your El Dia de los Muertos Altar in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

Nathalie Herling will teach a workshop and offer you hands on instructions so you can make Mexican Sugar Skulls for Day of the Dead celebrations.

This workshop will be for adults and is a two part workshop. Attendees can attend both parts or just the Sugar Skull decorating afternoon portion. Both are included in the price. If you want to know how to seriously make Sugar skulls for all your future Day of the Dead celebrations, we recommend you attend both the morning and afternoon workshops.

Over the course of the morning we will make different size sugar skulls using molds. After the skulls dry we will decorate in the afternoon. All participants will be taking home a good amount of skulls to decorate their at home altars.

On Wednesday, October 29, we will start at 10:00 am at the ART VallARTa Studio on Calle Pilitas 213 where we will make the special sugar mixture to mold the skulls and set them up for drying. Approx 2 hours.

To kick off our Wednesday Wine and Design Season, everyone will return to ART VallARTa for a Special Sugar Skull Happy Hour at 4:00 to put together our skulls and creatively personalize and decorate our skulls while enjoying marigold tequila cocktails or fresh non alcoholic beverages. While we decorate the skull with bright color sugar frosting, sequins and various craft supplies. Bring names of novios and friends you would like to dedicate your skulls to. In the background we will have playing the Day of the Dead “Food for our Ancestors” video.

The cost of the course is only 200 pesos or $15 USD.

Please bring an apron so as to not get your clothing too Sugary Sweet!

Our childrens sugar skull workshop will be held on the 25th of October.
