These sessions will run as follows:

 

Monday 23rd October – 1-3pm, this is where they will learn about lanterns and design their very own Halloween/spooky/ Day of the Dead lantern and make the frame out of willow/rattan/ wire and masking tape

 

Wednesday 25th October – 1pm – 4pm this extended session they will cover their lantern and while waiting for them to dry make their lantern rods

 

Friday 27th October 1-3pm in this session they will put any finishing touches to their lanterns, including adding any colour they wish.  From 2pm we will be running a family session where they can share their newly found skills with families making simplified versions.  At 5:45 pm we ask that they return to SPACE with any family members and friends to attach their lanterns to their rods and add their lights and then we will meet with others outside Three Joes for Fareham’s first lantern walk!

Once the event is over they are welcome to bring their lanterns home with them and use them for decoration!

 

These are a drop off session, although those requiring a carer/support worker to attend are of course welcome!  There is no cost for this funded week of workshops.

Our workshops are run by professional artists who are DBS checked and we have a safeguarding policy in place.
