Last summer, we had the opportunity to take a community lantern parade workshop at Haystack Mountain School of Craft. The workshop was amazing in so many ways and it’s been exciting to see this magical, community-building concept spread as our fellow students bring this experience home to their neighborhoods.

On February 8, we’ll kick off a series of workshops to create a lantern parade for Shotwell Street. The plan is to share the tools and techniques we learned at Haystack, then work as a group to plan and build a community lantern parade to take place this fall. Rather than a teacher-student model, we’ll be sharing and learning together.

Other details:
• Workshop is limited to 12 participants. Register today!
• No experience is necessary, but this workshop is for folks 18 and older. (Opportunities for kids to follow.)
• All materials provided. Suggested donation of $10 helps offest material costs; all are welcome regardless of means.
• Wear warm clothes and comfortable shoes, and be ready to get a little messy.
• Bring any food and beverages you might want to have during the workshop. There are several places nearby to grab coffee/lunch.
• Consider bringing a sketchbook and/or an apron.
