Paper Mache Lantern Workshop

Paper Mache Lantern Workshop

Paper mache originates from China and was used to make helmets and armour for soldiers!  Later the craft expanded to decorative objects, masks and ornaments.

In this workshop, we'll use various kinds of paper, pressed or printed flowers and glue to experience the centuries old craft of paper mache.

Make your own enchanting paper mache lanterns or lamps to create a cozy glow in your living room or or bedroom

All materials included.

This workshop is suitable for teenagers and adults (not suitable for younger children).
