Want to celebrate Day of the Dead? Make a Magic Pocket Shrine!

What is a pocket shrine?

Originating in Mexico, the pocket shrine is both a creative art form and a symbolic act used to enhance a part of your life. Together, we will take time to reflect on which part you would like to bring new life to. We will each assemble a small shrine using materials provided and anything you have collected to imbue yours with a specific intention.

Join Jane Newman as she guides you through the magic-making.

When? Sunday, November 2, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Day of the Dead
Where? Museum Main Gallery

Possible topics for your pocket shrine: creativity, prosperity, dreams, healing, courage, peace, strength…

Before the workshop, collect:
• small bits of imagery specific to your intentions
• words, quotes, poems, icons, buttons, sequins, beads, feathers, fabric, seeds, tiny candles, toys… anything really, but small, as these are pocket shrines
