Punch-Tin Lantern Workshop with Paul Teeples August 27, 2009

Lantern making techniques will be based on Colonial era Punch-Tin lanterns, but the results are sure to be unique and contemporary.

Paul Teeples is a local artist who creates elaborate sculptures with found wood and metal. His work is both witty and serious, a fascinating combination.
