Build a Lantern

This year, Luminara has partnered with Mayfair Shopping Centre to deliver a series of affordable, drop-in lantern-making workshops. Lantern kits are 10$ and are availible at the workshops or at the concierge desk.

On July 5th,12th, 13th & 19th, join us in the centre court at Mayfair Shopping Centre from 11am to 3pm to build and decorate your own lantern - you can even show off your handiwork in a colourful procession on July 20th!

Community Lantern Project: Ghost Salmon Run

Join community artist Paula Jardine in the creation of glowing salmon and roe lanterns for the "Ghost Salmon Run" installation at Luminara this year. Participants are invited to include their lanterns in Luminara where the glowing stream of fish will be accompanied by the hauntingly beautiful harmonies of the RiverSong Singers, led by singer/composer Carolyn Knight. And, of course, take their lanterns home to illuminate their own gardens afterwards.

Paula will teach workshop participants how to make a three foot long salmon lantern out of wire and tissue paper, with the option of making little roe lanterns for younger participants.

The workshop will be held at the Fairfield Activity Centre, 1 - 380 Cook Street, on Friday July 18 from 11am - 4pm. Cost $20 per salmon lantern, $10 per roe lantern. Group/family rates negotiable. Optional lunch provided for $6.
