Day of the Dead or Los Dias de los Muertos, is a two day celebration on November 1 and 2. In the community where I live, Tierra Nueva, we build a festive candlelit altar with pictures of our loved ones, honoring their memory with stories, songs and favorite foods.

Once a year during the month of October, in preparation for the San Luis Obispo County Open Studio tour, I create Day of the Dead ceramics and silk hangings using the joyful colors and playful skeleton imagery of ancient Mexico. Prices: skeleton mask ($35), candlabra ($30), vases ($10 - $40), mugs ($20). Silk skull and dancing skeketon hangings ($35 - $50). Contact me for sizes and colors. Shipping additional.
