I grew up with lantern processions on St. Martin’s day in Germany. The magic and power of these kind of community rituals and celebrations was reignited in me after my apprenticeship with Bread and Puppet. Since 2017, I have worked with groups of people to make lanterns for the Great Halloween Lantern Parade. Since 2023, I have been teaching lantern building, though I am very much still a student of this craft!
