Talented artists from Year 7 at King Edward’s School spent the day at the Holburne Museum last Tuesday, learning to make willow lanterns with the help of local artist, Mary Caron-Courtney.
The resulting lanterns will be ready for use in the museum’s forthcoming lantern procession on the 19th November, when a group from KES will join the parade.
King Edward’s is one of a number of Bath schools taking part in the Holburne’s workshops to create lanterns for the spectacular annual event.
The theme this year is ‘The Enchanted Forest’ with lanterns shaped as birds, beasts, trees and mythical creatures.
During their workshop, Year 7 were charged with making tree-shaped lanterns, many of which took on a suitably festive theme, topped with stars.
