Join
artist and educator, Valerie Seaberg for a two-day immersive
lantern-building workshop inspired by Día de los Muertos, ancestral
remembrance, and joy of creating in community. Together we will create
illuminated lantern sculptures that honor loved ones, celebrate lineage
from all cultures and traditions, and welcome the deepening beauty of
fall and winter.
Using willow, bamboo, reed, paper, and other
sustainable materials, participants will learn how to build expressive
sculptural lanterns from the inside out. Participants are encouraged to
bring ideas, sketches, photographs, symbols, or meaningful inspiration
connected to ancestors, memory, nature, or personal vision. Lanterns may
be abstract, playful, elegant, symbolic, animal-inspired, or devotional
in form.
This workshop is open to beginners as well as
experienced makers.Together we will create a celebration of light
honoring those who came before us and illuminating the path forward.
