Create Your Own Ofrenda Items with Mattie Rhodes

Join artist Mattie Rhodes for a two-hour workshop where you'll craft decorative pieces for a traditional Day of the Dead altar. This hands-on class is a wonderful way for families to engage with this meaningful cultural tradition while creating something special to take home. The Museum of Kansas City hosts this program as part of its fall celebration, making it an accessible introduction to ofrenda-making for all ages and skill levels. Space is limited to ensure everyone gets personalized attention, so advance registration is recommended. The cost is $15 per person. General museum admission is free, so you can explore the exhibits before or after your workshop if you'd like to make a fuller day of it.
