About this Event
Join Alex for a crafty afternoon at Creative Bloc, upcycling glass jars into spooky lanterns! Perfect for decorating your doorstep or going out guising on Halloween.
We will be decorating our jars with tissue paper in spooky colours and adding hand drawn scenes or character filled faces. We'll finish with a twine handle and pop in an LED tealight ready for you to head out into the darkness with your unique lanterns.
All the materials are included in this workshop but if you have a specially shaped jar you think would look awesome please do bring it along! You will be able to make between one and three lanterns during the session depending on how detailed your designs are.
This family friendly activity is designed for ages 8+
Accompanying adults are welcome to book a place to join in the activity or just sit back with a cuppa in the studio (no need to book a place for this).
