Learn how to build a pair spook-tacular Halloween lanterns from reclaimed wood in a special 2–3 hour woodworking session!
The session will begin with some general housekeeping, introductions to the other participating elders and younglings, and a chance to familiarise yourself with the workshop before the spooky crafting begins.
Then, one of our experienced woodworkers will guide you through every step of the build process. Once you’ve selected your ghoulish faces, they’ll show you how to use the tools to construct your pair of rustic lanterns, perfect for lighting up doorsteps, pathways, and haunted corners of the garden.
Then at the end, there’ll be finish available to paint your lanterns in your chosen colour/s. At this point, your creations must remain in our care awhile longer as they dry. You’ll then be summoned to collect it before the big day, otherwise they’ll be left to the spirits.
This session is suitable for beginners and makes a fantastic introduction to woodworking, creative reuse, and seasonal crafting. Whether you’re decorating for trick-or-treaters or simply adding a touch of autumn magic to your home, you’ll leave with two unique handmade lanterns to enjoy year after year.
The session begins at 12:00pm and will finish at approximately 2:00–3:00pm.
