Live lantern-making workshop 

Join us for a closer look at lamps and lanterns in the Ashmolean Museum's collection and make your own lantern to brighten up the dark evenings, with a simple craft activity. 

All ages welcome, but particularly good for 5 to 11 year olds and their grown-ups.

​

Please have these ready for the lantern making:

• 2 sheets white paper (A4 printer paper or similar).

• Scissors

• Glue stick or craft glue

• Pencil

• Eraser

• Black or dark felt tip pen

• Few teaspoons of oil in a jar or bowl (any cooking oil will do)

• Paint brush

• Earbud

• Bike light or battery operated candle

​

WARNING: This lantern is not for use with a live candle or flame of any kind.

This activity is not very messy but you may want to wear old clothes/apron and protect your table with old newspaper or similar.

​

Adults must supervise this activity.

Free Zoom session from 2pm. No need to book.
