​We are honored to collaborate with The Marigold Project on workshops celebrating our ancestors and Día de Los Muertos!

​This workshop embraces your ancestral beauty and engages your creativity by making a silk flower crown. You are invited to come construct your flower crown in anticipation of November 2nd’s Festival of Altars in Potrero Del Sol Park, celebrating Día de Los Muertos 2023. Supplies provided!

​About The Marigold Project

​The Marigold Project serves the community by creating healing spaces connecting us to our ancestors and our impermanence in One Spirit. By providing cultural education, art and writing therapy workshops, and altar building skills connecting as a community, we honor the circle of life and death. We respect life by teaching our children who we are in the cosmos, our humanity, and the preservation of our planet.

​About the Instructors

​Danielle Revives

​Danielle Revives is a San Francisco-born, Hawai’i-raised self-taught artist and altar creator. Her chosen medium is flowers both of the real and silk variety. Her floral work is often found paired with altars honoring her Ancestors and the Earth for Dia de Muertos. She’s done altar work for the Exploratorium, KQED and the San Francisco Opera. Her floral work can also be found in politically charged acts of civil disobedience. Often over the freeway on a overpass of sorts. Her personal best is having a piece (or a “flower bomb” as she lovingly calls it) up on the 7th Street pedestrian bridge northbound over 101 for 23 days reading, “Give all the damns”. Maybe if you’re lucky and the timing is right you’ll drive under one of her upcoming flower bombs. Ssshhh… don’t tell the City.
