It's getting colder and the year's end is approaching. Warm up in your coziest outfit and join us for this unique lantern making class.
You will be taken step-by-step together to produce a classic Asian round lantern. But there's a twist! There will be a variety of designs on tissue for you to cut out and paste to make a lantern that is special to you. Have other embellishments you want to add? Bring them!
While making our lanterns, we will reflect on 2025 - the good, the bad, the ugly - and symbolically bid 2025 farewell. You can write a little note and tie it inside the lantern along with the LED light.
All materials will be provided so you'll only have to bring a date or friends for maximum fun. There will be light snacks and refreshments provided, but you can bring your own snacks and beverages too.
When finished, you will take your lantern with you while we collect all the supplies for future use.
You are encouraged to take lots of pictures throughout the process and tag @makarathachsernett and @otakuloungelou when posting to social media. You may be featured in our stories and feed.
