| Event Name: | Parol Workshop - Tradition Philippine Christmas Lantern Making |
| Description: | In the Filipino language, a Christmas lantern is called a Parol. There's no greater symbol of the Filipino Christmas spirit than this; it is our Christmas Tree. All through the Christmas season, star-shaped lanterns can be found hanging outside homes and along the streets of cities and small provincial towns, farms and fishing villages.
So this Christmas, we’re inviting everyone to take time away from the Christmas rush and join us to learn a new skill and keep this tradition alive.
The workshop involves teaching people how to make Filipino Christmas lanterns the traditional way, from bamboo sticks and rice paper. It will be run completely by volunteers and will be open to everyone - young and old, Filipinos and non Filipinos, and across the range of artistic abilities. |
