On December 8th, master lantern builder, Ian McFarlane, taught a lantern making workshop using rattan reeds, canvas, and paint. We learned that rattan, when wet, is a very malleable material, and can be shaped into many kinds of shapes and designs! Below are some photos from the workshop. You can see these lanterns in action for our final wayfinding // wandering event on December 21st, 2018 at 6pm. We will meet in the Sunset Community Centre lobby and hold a short lantern procession through the new park outside the Centre. Treats, of course, will be served. Facebook event link is here.
