Every year, on 21st December, 1000s of Brighton residents make lanterns lit with LEDs, then walk them through town in the Burning the Clocks Parade. The parade ends with a large bonfire on the beach, marking the shortest day of the year, and the beginning of the days getting longer. We're bringing the parade to EMF! This will be a sticky, crafty workshop, where you can make a weird alien lantern. We can provide kits (includes materials for TWO lanterns) or raw materials, you bring your creative flair and at the end of the workshop you’ll have a lovely (if slightly damp) lantern to take away. The lanterns are made by bending and taping together lengths of willow to form a frame. Then comes the messy bit - you wet sheets of tissue paper with watered down PVA glue, and cover the frame. As this dries, it tightens to form a rigid and surprisingly robust lantern. Once your lantern is made, you can leave it plain and simple, or decorate it - you can add black shapes whilst it's wet, or add stuff later at your leisure (we’ll give you the stuff you need). Then join the lantern parade on Saturday evening, 5:45pm at Stage D, adding a new memorable event to EMF!
