One of the things we love best is the variety that walks out the door and that we are still learning with the participants. Mr Saffron Restaurant man (on the right) came in and made a style of Lantern he learnt in his village in India aged 8. Not yet complete in the photo it was beautifully finished with tissue fringing.

You can see it lit up in the photos above, alongside the rainbow pyramid they made last year.
