The La Raza Club hosted a mask-making workshop on Oct. 31 in partnership with the Dreamers’ Success Center. 

The workshop featured Jesus Barela as a guest artist. Barela is a professor at American River College and Sierra College. Barela is experienced with making calaveras of papier-mâché for Dia de Muertos, a skill he learned from the Posada family, descendants of José Guadalupe Posada who popularized the tradition of making paper calaveras for the holiday.
