Workshop Details

All ages - all children must be accompanied by an adult.

Over two days, you’ll build beautiful, long-lasting lanterns using traditional techniques: frame construction, paper application, and lighting. Materials will be provided, but you are welcome to bring your own paper, especially tissue paper, which works best, and your own stick.

Feel free to bring your own lunch or snacks. Please avoid peanuts to keep the workshop safe for everyone.

This is the first of a series of art-making workshops creating pieces for the Cathedral Village Arts Festival parade.

Join NDH's Co-Artistic Director Robin Poitras with your completed lanterns for a Ruby Jubilee Parade as part of the Cathedral Village Arts Festival Monday, May 18th.
