Festival of Lanterns, Fire and Fireworks. Celebrating 20years at the Arts Station. We went to the Arts Station to try our hand at making lanterns for the November 20th parade of light! All fingers and toes... but fun was had by everyone.
Glue, tissue and bamboo were flying around the table. Oz Parsons, Art Station Adminstrator, kept stressing the lack of time as there were only 2 more sessions to complete a lantern. The pressure was on! Little Ruby, 4 years old, wanted to make an owl. Kaya of 9, suggested that would be too complicated. To which Ruby replied, "Well, then I'll make a baby owl!" Kids are brilliant!
Thanks to Lesley Graham for all her hard work in organising this project. We look forward to seeing the parade light the streets on Nov. 20th.
Nov. 20th was a chilly one, but there was a great a great turn out and the lanterns looked amazing. Check out the fire throwers in action!
