Come together in this collaborative workshop to help create large-scale, luminescent botanical lanterns as communal works of art.
Guided by visual artist Tracey Johnson, participants will contribute to a collective making process, exploring creativity through connection and teamwork. Working as a group, you’ll learn traditional art and design techniques using cane and paper to build beautiful illuminated paper lanterns, whilst celebrating the process of creating together.
This is a shared experience, and lanterns will be kept to display in the Lantern Parade. Workshop participants are warmly invited to take part in the parade, carrying the lanterns in a glowing procession and showcasing the works produced throughout the day.
Workshop suitable for ages 6 and up. We ask that carers stay to supervise their children.
🏮The Lantern Parade will be held at the Arboretum at 5pm on 18 and 19 July, following a looped route around the Events Terrace. All are welcome to join the parade and help bring the lanterns to life. The Lantern Parade is suitable for all ages and abilities.
