LA Made: Dia de los Muertos Papel Picado Workshop
About the Event
Papel picado is the traditional art of cutting elaborate designs from delicate tissue paper. Papel picado is used for a variety of celebrations in addition to Dia de los Muertos. Calaveras, skeletons, candles, marigolds, names of loved ones, and cultural and religious icons are typically present in papel picado made for Dia de los Muertos.
