Year of the Snake 2013

Workshops in an empty shopfront on Broadway thanks to Downtown

PHOTOS FROM 2013 WORKSHOPS

Picture
Another fabulous round of Lantern making Workshops in preparation for the Community Lantern Procession to open the Festival of Cultures 2013, March 15th.
Big Thanks to Downtown for the use again this year of the High Profile Broadway shop space, where everyone can see the workshops happening and stroll in to watch and make.
Numbers up this year, and funny how word spreads around schools and friends - after one family has been in we'll get at least 3 more families arrive to have a go, great referrals by word of mouth - the best kind!

Ramanie and her skilled scissor hands

Tissue 'tastic

Having learnt some fantastic
Sri Lankan Lantern styles
from Ramanie and her husband H.Sumanasenea
last year, we knew she had more to share.   
We invited Ramanie in for Open Workshops on weekends to share her skill in paper cutting - to inspire and to pass on her knowledge. 
Kids were wowed and enjoyed having a go too.

As every year we get busier 
it seems we have less and 
less time for photoshoots
so apologies if we didn't 
get a photo of you and your 
lantern at the workshops.
Can you spot Ramanies influence?
The standard of decoration
this year was higher again
Many Thanks Ramanie
and also Eleanor our new assistant

The Year of the Snake Centrepeice

Picture
People often ask how they are made. 
With difficulty! and willow and tape and tissue, and much head scratching in the planning stages.
Gerald the Snake is longer than the 2012 dragon, just coiled. This left me with very little space to get inside for papering,
lucky i'm lean!
In memory of Gerald Nesdale 1936 - 2013
