Lantern Workshops

lanterns at moon festival

Create beautiful lanterns under the guidance of experienced artist Yoko Tomita. A globe lantern can be formed in an evening and left to dry over night.  The next day requires about 20 minutes to finish it and add the candle. Bamboo lanterns require more patience as a frame needs to be built with thin pieces of bamboo and then tissue paper applied over the frame. Yoko will help you make stars or moons or assist you in designing your own bamboo shape.

*young children please bring your grown-up helpers.
