Ofrendas/altars in honour of loved ones who have passed on play an essential role during Day of the Dead: they serve as prominent signposts showing the souls of the dead their way home. This tutorial will walk you through the basics of creating and customizing your own altar. With special thanks to Figment Projects for the contribution. #DayoftheDeadTO

We’re immensely grateful for the heartfelt and thoughtful ofrendas shared through our Virtual Altar. This year, instead of standing in front of the main altar at the Wychwood Barns together to commemorate our beloved departed, we did so virtually: we invited the community to create their own Day of the Dead altars at home, to share with the rest of us via our Virtual Altar, re-creating online the sense of one collective, animated altar so tangible in past years at the Barns. #DayoftheDeadTO
