Medium Lantern Making Workshop #2 - Owl or Flying Fish 

Instructor: Fritz Smith 

*This year’s theme is “Starry Night,” a reflection on how we can bring brightness, hope, and connection to even the coldest, darkest days. Create, connect, and shine with us.

As the days grow shorter and the nights longer, join us in a celebration of light and creativity. Led by artist and educator Fritz Smith, this hands-on lantern-making workshop invites participants to craft beautiful, glowing lanterns from natural materials such as willow branches, tissue paper, and LED lights.

Designed for varying skill levels, this joyful and enriching experience offers not only the chance to learn a new artistic technique but also to be part of something bigger. Participants are warmly invited to carry their handmade lanterns in the River of Lights Parade on January 17th, a magical outdoor procession that brings warmth, color, and community spirit to the heart of winter.

Saturday, November 7
