Join Mariana Ro Art and Rocio of Mist Art Studio for a special Día de Muertos pottery workshop in Las Vegas celebrating creativity, tradition and the meaning behind the altar.
During this beginner-friendly handbuilding workshop, we’ll guide you step-by-step through creating your own one-of-a-kind ceramic Día de Muertos altar.
You’ll learn pottery handbuilding techniques and have the opportunity to personalize your altar using texture, sculptural details, decorative tools and ceramic adornments.
Whether you create your piece in honor of someone special or simply want to explore the tradition through clay, every altar will be completely unique.
No previous pottery experience is necessary.

Please Read Before Booking
Ceramics is a handmade process, and occasionally pieces can crack or break during drying or firing. We take every precaution possible, but kiln results cannot be guaranteed.
If your piece breaks during either firing, we’re unfortunately unable to refund the workshop or material costs already incurred.
Cancellation Policy
Workshop tickets are non-refundable once purchased because materials and preparation are arranged in advance.
If you’re unable to attend, you're welcome to transfer your ticket to someone else. Please contact us before the workshop so we can update the attendee information.
Allergies & Dietary Restrictions
Please let us know ahead of time about any beverage allergies or dietary restrictions so we can do our best to accommodate you.
Come spend a Sunday morning with us celebrating Día de Muertos through clay, art and community while creating a ceramic piece you can bring out year after year.

Meet the Maker
Hi, I’m Rocio Ruiz, the Argentinian ceramic artist behind MIST Art Studio. My nine-year journey with clay developed during the six years I lived and worked in Mexico. Now based in Las Vegas, I create each piece individually using wheel-throwing and hand-building techniques, inspired by natural forms, everyday rituals, and the beauty of imperfection.
