Lantern Workshops - loads of fun.
This is the fourth lantern parade since we moved to New Mills, but it's the first time we've actually made lanterns for it. I really enjoyed it and the result is very rewarding. It's amazing what you can do with some willow, masking tape and tissue paper, and a bit of ceative input. Meet Harry and Sally....
These two are going to look SO cool lit up.
The workshop sessions run for two two hours twice a day at weekends, and this year they were very busy, with the volunteers (including Martin and Lucy) run off their feet, sharing their expertise with various people from 7 to 70. Speaking of Martin, he fits into a very small space...
He also seems to appear on photos that aren't about him...
The parade is on Sturday 25th, and it's a great spectacle - hundreds of people walking through the Torrs with lantens of all shapes and sizes. This year's theme is music. You can see photos of the last ten years' processions at www.newmillsfestival.com.
In other news, we had young Jack over for the weekend, but about his exploits in Lantern making, he's saying nothing..
More soon. later taters.
