Create a glowing sculpture that tells a story!

In this two-day creative workshop, participants will design and build an illuminated "Story Face" lantern inspired by identity, emotions, imagination, and personal storytelling. Using wire, mesh, paper, colour, and light, each young person will create a unique face sculpture representing a character, memory, feeling, or version of themselves.

Participants are encouraged to bring a printed photo of themselves to assist with observation and face-shape drawing during the design process.
