The Yourspace Lantern Making Lighterupper!

Hello I'm Emily a potter and basketweaver and I'm passionate about sharing my skills with you! Making with our hands is so important; it makes us feel connected and present to materials and process and unleashes the creativity I believe is in everyone. I work my little garden shed in Surrey  and host workshops from various locations in and around London. Please keep a look out here and hopefully something catches your eye!Alternatively if are interested in 1-1 or family/friend workshops then please get in touch.

Join us for the inaugural lantern making and parade at Yourspace.Sutton

Your.Space Sutton Community Garden Cafe

The very first lantern making workshop and parade comes to Yourspace! This is a 2 part family friendly event so please make sure you can attend both parts: PART ONE: Thursday 30th October 11am - 1pm Come and join us for the lantern making workshop at Yourspace. You will use willow to create your structure and then cover it in tissue paper that will help create the glow when the lantern lights up. Decorate if you wish with a design inspired by the colours of autumn or spooky silhouettes of halloween. There will be glue involved so expect to get your hands a little bit messy! All children under 10 must be supervised by an adult to support with the making and we recommend 4+ for this activity. PART TWO: Saturday 1st November 3:30-4pmYour lanterns will dry until Saturday when the inaugural lantern parade will take place as the day begins to get dark and we mark the end of the Whippersnapper-Upper event happeninng from 12-4pm. Join us for the whole event with a variety of stalls run by youths and under 18s. OR just come along to collect your lantern at 3:30pm and be part of the parade around the Yourspace site with all the lanterns aglow!
