Thursday 9 January 2025 from 10am to 4pm

Create a sculptural form using bamboo and cane. Leave it as a sculpture or cover with paper to create a lantern.

Participants will be instructed with the simple techniques of assemblage, and construction in bamboo and cane. You may choose to cover the form with tissue paper, cellophane, or other textiles.

Lanterns may be left white or painted with subtle colours and patterns that create a coloured glow with internal lighting.

This easy, non-toxic process allows for the creation of any simple contained form e.g. animals, sea creatures or abstract shapes. Everyone works on their own project in their own time. No experience required.

Participants will be instructed in simple techniques of bamboo, cane and wire construction and covering with paper. Lanterns will be strung up to dry and then left white or painted.

By the end of the course the student will be able to

  1. Construct a form using bamboo, cane and paper

  2. Create a hanging mechanism for the lantern

  3. Cover the form with paper soaked in glue to complete the form.
