Papel Picado(Cut Out Paper Flags)
About the Class
Kick off the month of October with the first workshop of the Dia De Muertos (Day of the Dead) holiday series. In this easy and fun, family-friendly workshop, we will celebrate the traditions of Day of the Dead by making Papel PIcado (Cut out paper flags). Instructor Ana Rios will walk students through the history of Papel Picado and how they are traditionally displayed on altars and can signify the union between life and death. Participants will have a variety of materials and colors to choose from! As a bonus project, Ana will teach students how to make paper flowers as well!

Class FAQ
We ask that you notify us at least 10 days in advance of a class if you need to cancel your registration. You may cancel by phone or email and we will gladly offer you a refund or credit toward a future class. If you cancel with less than 10 days’ notice, we will not be able to provide refunds, due to our contractual obligations and material purchases for each class.
Sometimes, the Sonoma Community Center has to cancel a class due to low enrollment or unforeseen circumstances, such as a natural disaster or health emergency. If this happens and we do not offer a reschedule date, you will be refunded 100% of your registration fee (minus the payment processing and services fee), or credit towards a future class. If we are able to offer a reschedule date but you are unable to make the new date, we will gladly offer credit towards a future class.
All credits must be used within 1 year.
