For ages 13 and up. All kids must be accompanied by an adult.
Illuminate the night! Create a bright, joyous, and totally delightful luminary. Be ready to walk in the Luminary Procession Friday night, April 26th, the evening before The Procession of the Species Celebration!
These triangle, pyramid, or diamond-shaped lanterns are amazingly easy to create in about 3 hours.
We use bamboo skewers and a hot glue gun to create the frame, apply a layer of paper over the frame with Elmer's glue, decorate with colorful papers, and add a string of fairy lights. It's that easy. (You may want to spend some extra time in the studio later adding the finishing touches to your decorations.)
Take home your luminary as well as the skills to keep and share forever.
