Get ready to join Carrying the Fire on 7 November 2026 in Albany.

Join us in a workshop to create a lantern to carry at the event. Following simple designs and guided by our artists, you will create a beautiful lantern that can clip onto your mobile phone or a torch. Each lantern is inspired by our coastline and country. Bring your own creative flair as you create a lantern that represents a banksia, sea star inspired lantern, kwornt (a traditional Menang shelter) or moodjar flower.
