Lanterns 2014

We had an interesting Halloween supporting and attending local Hallowe'en Events.
The Liverpool Lantern Company put on their usual spectacular event with local community groups designing and carrying small, and not so small! lanterns.
A brilliant firwork display with choirs, musicians, and dancers contributing made it a unique visual spectacular event.

Junior Artists Lantern Decorating 8.10.14

HALLOWEEN LANTERN DECORATING

The Junior Artists decorated their lantern frames this week that they made with Becky Bryson last week.

Plenty of sticky tissue paper and glue !

The artists layered the willow frames with white tissue paper and then designed decorations to stick on them out of coloured tissue paper, then put another layer of white tissue paper and hung them up to dry.

Junior Artists Halloween Lantern Making with Becky Bryson 1.10.14

LANTERNS WITH BECKY BRYSON

The Junior Artists this week began work on their Halloween Lanterns with the help of Becky Bryson.

The Junior Artists all made a frame similar to this out of willow and over the coming weeks these will be covered in white tissue paper and decorated in the theme of Halloween.

The Halloween lanterns will be covered with tissue paper and decorated next week.

Finalising spooky Lanterns for tonights walk!

Yesterday was the last day our junior artists and older people had to finish working on their Lanterns ready for tonights parade! Once we put the finishing touches to them including some spooky bats, spider webs, and BOO's we just put a second layer on then passed over to becky for the finishing touches. Putting a little 'cat flap' on so we can light them tonight. 
A few nail biting moments when we thought we would have a couple of unfinished ones but we all got stuck in and done them all!

Together we have about 20 lanterns - and a lot more pumpkins to help guide us through the woods on tonights scary walk!! 

Keep posted for pictures and tales from tonights spooky event!! 

Happy Halloween everyone!!
