Join us on Saturday, April 27th and learn to make your own lantern using natural reed and tissue paper. Paper lanterns are a symbol of joy and prosperity, and are used to “light the way”, both figuratively and literally.

In this workshop, we will be focusing on fish and creatures of the sea to provide inspiration for various lantern shapes.

This is an all ages workshop; students aged 10 and under must have a parent/adult student registered to attend the workshop with them in order to assist with this process. No previous experience is necessary; pre-registration is required. All materials and supplies are included.

About the Instructor:

Kelly Anne Mueller is an artist, collaborator, and educator whose focus on the interrelationship between organism and environment, science, and art, positions her as a visual deep ecologist. Deeply interested in the patterning relationships of the natural and man-made, Kelly’s multidisciplinary projects explore the tenuous space between natural laws of reciprocity and interconnectedness, the systems and cycles of nature, and the artificial, imposed order of human experience.

She has been included in exhibitions nationally and internationally, including Tiger Strikes Asteroid (LA), Feral (Mexico City), Scope NY, Miami Art Fair, Box 13 (Houston), Jonathan Ferrara (New Orleans), Little Berlin (Philadelphia), Pensacola Museum of Art (Florida), Three Walls (Chicago), and New Orleans Museum of Art.

Be sure to check out Mueller’s solo exhibition, Love Letters to Ursa Major, currently on view upstairs at the PMA through May 25, 2024.
