During the first week of October a lady came into Holly Lodge to introuduce us to the Liverpool Lantern Company and to also design and make our own lanterns. She told us about the Liverpool Lantern Compan history and why it became so popular.
After the background information she bagan to show us how to make our own lanterns following the theme of creatures of the night(I decided on a bat) She also gave us some tips on helping children to make lanterns as we had a workshop with years 6's in the upcoming weeks.
we used the following equipment;
Withies, masking tape, pliars, tissue paper and pva glue.
Making my lantern took quite a while as I couldnt get the hang of making it strong at first, but once i got going and used the correct techniques I completed my lantern and added extra features to the face to make it look even more bat like!
