Newton Families Get Creative With A Little Lantern Magic
The city is inviting residents to roll up their sleeves, get crafty and help brighten the community with handmade lanterns.
NEWTON, MA — Newton residents are getting a chance to put a little creativity into the darker days of fall with the city's Shine A Light lantern-making workshops this weekend.
The hands-on workshops will take place Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 14-15, from noon to 3 p.m. at the New Art Center, 61 Washington Park in Newtonville.
Participants ages 13 and older can create their own illuminated owl or flying fish lanterns using paper, willow and LED lights. The $20 workshops offer more than an afternoon of crafting — the creations can become part of Newton's community Lantern Parade on Jan. 24.
