Workshops

Lantern Workshops bring out the communities creativity.

Lantern Workshops are fun, accessible and rewarding to virtually all skill levels. 

​

The mix of construction, design, gluing and decoration engages almost everybody to give it a go.

​

People are encouraged to work in pairs or families to help each other hold the cane in place while it's being secured.

​

All artists are experienced, fully insured and have current blue cards.

​

The community workshops are delivered over a few hours or a whole day. Sometimes these require booking and sometimes they are delivered as a drop in.

​

2D constructions as well so everyone can have a go.

​

In the school workshops, 2 artists construct a larger more elaborate feature lantern with a class over 2 days.

​

Usually one or 2 classes will construct on behalf of a school. If it's a tiny school, everyone joins in.

​

As part of a larger community Installation or community event, the lanterns are donated into the Installation and returned to their makers after the event.
