Join us for a special 3-day workshop to learn how to construct a fabulously fantastical lantern for Cary’s Under the Silver Moon lantern parade.

Facilitated by artists Gowri Savoor and Angelo Arnold, this unique 3-day intensive gives artists, art teachers, and creatives an opportunity to learn about large-scale structures to spearhead a parade. Participants will explore techniques such as design, construction, embellishment, lighting, and carrying methods.

Days 1-2 will include design and fabrication. Day 3 includes papering and embellishment.

This year’s theme: Our Town

Participants are encouraged to work in groups. Most materials are included. This workshop is not suitable for children.

Maximum capacity per workshop: 20

The experience will culminate in a celebration of light parade in Downtown Cary Park on January 10, 2025.
