see all dates
Suggested Ages: All, Adult Friendly
Join neighbors in creating a fleet of handmade lanterns at free workshops for all ages.
Lanterns take shape in a collaborative building process from start to finish. Each lantern passes through different hands during the week, highlighting the creativity of its makers at every stage. Work alongside Morningside Lights’ artistic directors, Alex Kahn and Sophia Michahelles, innovators in the world of processional art.
Workshops are open to anyone, with tasks geared toward older kids (10+) and adults. Tasks and times vary by day. Daily workshops culminate in a procession of illuminated mobile sculptures in Morningside Park on September 30.
