solstice lantern parade

Every year people gather for celebration, music, organic food, art and ceremony at Northey St city farm for the winter solstice gathering. This year I was invited to do lantern making for the lantern parade. Before the festival we made some sculptural lanterns, and at the festival I prepared some small equilateral pyramid lanterns for the crowd to make. When the lanterns were assembled everyone took them to Bob Mud http://www.nscf.org.au/bob-mud/ to paint with magical mud designs and colours. The activity was so popular that after it finished I set up a little table near my market stall so people  could gather sticks to sculpt more lanterns. Some photos from the day.
