Butterfly Lantern Puppet Workshops!
 

These Butterfly Lantern Puppet workshops are with parade artist Chantelle Rytter for the Hapeville Butterfly Lantern Parade on March 22! 

 

We will be making 11” x 17” illuminated butterfly puppets created with Rytter's design. This involves coloring with markers, scissor-work, hot glue, tape, and a fair amount of manual dexterity. This project is best for folks 8 years-old and up with an adult assistant. Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times. Tickets are per butterfly. Two people can work on one butterfly (please no more than two). There are just 14 butterflies per class and they do take every bit of three hours to make. Please do your best to be on time. You are welcome to bring a beverage & snack. All materials are included. There are two adult-only workshops because grown-ups need playtime! It’s a great date night.
