Arty Afternoons: Make a Lantern

August 1 @ 2:30 pm - 3:30 pm
A child sits in dim light, focused on crafting a paper lantern, surrounded by glassware and a glowing lamp. A hand holds another colourful paper lantern.

In the painting by Marianne Stokes, Lantern Light – which is on display in our ‘Making Her Mark’ exhibition – a boy is lit up by the glow of a lantern. Join us to make a 3D lantern based on the one in this painting.

FREE family activities take place every Saturday; drop in anytime between 2.30 pm and 3.30 pm.
