Join our special summer workshop and commemorate America’s 250th anniversary by handcrafting your own colonial-style wooden lantern.

Drawing inspiration from the lanterns that illuminated the path to freedom in the 13 colonies, this class offers you a unique opportunity to create a timeless heirloom for your home.

Your lantern will be crafted from beautiful cherry wood and feature solid brass hardware. With three glass windows, a mirror reflector, and a six-inch candle, your lantern will cast a warm, authentic glow reminiscent of Paul Revere’s ride and the spirit of Valley Forge.

Students will punch a brass heat shield with a pattern of their choice, including patriotic themes. You’ll complete the final shaping of wooden parts, install glass, and work with sheet brass and wire.

No prior experience is necessary – all materials and tools are provided (though you may bring your own hand tools or a cordless drill if you prefer).

Reserve your spot now to learn new skills, build a piece of history, and take home a handcrafted lantern!
