Lantern Workshops
May 2-3
Create a Lantern Puppet
Join parade artist Chantelle Rytter as she leads Lantern Workshops - Learn how to create your very own "Everybody Lantern Puppet!"
It’s your design. Your lantern puppet could be an animal, character, or an original creature. Think of them as a fantastical second self, a playful critter native to the world of the lantern parade!
Best for older kids & adults - Lantern puppets are easy to create; they can be as simple or elaborate as you'd like. Kids must be accompanied by an adult at all times, and this project is best for ages capable of using scissors and respecting hot glue.
Tickets are $25 per lantern puppet, and all materials are provided. This is a great project for two people.
Workshops are hosted at Sandy Springs Performing Arts Center in the Studio Theatre Lobby (1 Galambos Way, Sandy Springs GA):
✨ Saturday, May 2
✨ Sunday, May 3
About the Artist
This workshop is with lantern parade artist, Chantelle Rytter, creator of the Sandy Springs Lantern Parade, and proud Captain of the Krewe of the Grateful Gluttons. Chantelle has created a family of annual lantern parades based in community participation over the last 14 years in Sandy Springs, Midtown, Hapeville, and Hilton Head Island. Chantelle grew up in Baltimore and studied integrative arts at Penn State University. She lived in New Orleans for 10 years and fell under the spell of parade culture and the notion that creative play can be a civic gift.
