Co-creating a beautiful Day of the Dead altar through traditional craft workshops.


Working with the Royal Society of Sculptors, we created a cultural programme exploring the traditions of Mexico’s Day of the Dead. The initiative featured a co-created offering installation dedicated to sculptor Cecil and Dora Thomas, five drop-in craft workshops, learning resources, and a candlelit cultural night.
