About this Event

Fanal Art Workshop

Join us for a fun and creative fanal making workshop at Gisele's Creole Cuisine!
Get ready to unleash your inner artist and explore your creative side while learning more about this Haitian end-of-year cultural practice and celebration. A fanal is a traditional Haitian Christmas lantern – see links below for more background information.

Haitian Teaching Artist(s) will be guiding and leading fanal making workshops on Saturdays: November 16 and November 23, 2:00 pm -5:00 pm at Gisele's Creole Cuisine, 2407 Price Ave., Silver Spring, MD 20902. The artist(s) will demonstrate and showcase workshop participants how to make fanal houses.

Fanals will be exhibited at the Embassy of Haiti on Dec. 20, 2024, in partnership with AHP and Komite Ayiti.

The workshops are open to ages 5 to adults. Workshop admission is free, but $10 (minimum) donation is encouraged for supplies and other misc. Older participants are encouraged to bring their own cutting tools, e.g., exacto pen knives/sharper scissors, as we will provide child-safe cutting tools. Assistance from parents (with or without an arts background) is welcome to manage the volume of children we expect. Portions of the workshops will be photographed/video-recorded for display on the social media feeds of co-sponsoring organizations/teaching artists.

Please note this will be in a restaurant setting where you can also purchase food and drinks during the workshop.

Tètpwav Solèy-Artist leading Fanal workshop on Saturday, November 23

A painter, kite-making instructor, musician, spoken-word poetry performer, and upcoming author on the topic of social commentary, Tètpwav Solèy was born in Hospital of Chancerelle, also known as Isaīe Jeanty Hospital, in the Cité Soleil neighborhood of the metropolitan area of Port-au-Prince, Haiti. He delights in exploring the many facets of artistry.


Tètpwav’s parents taught him, his brothers, and his sisters to stand up for what they believed in and to stay true to their Haitian culture. Growing up, Tètpwav analyzed his parents’ struggles to provide a better life for his family and realized that, through it all, they smiled and never complained – that optimistic attitude launched his life philosophy.
