Craft & Create: Mid-Autumn Calligraphy Lantern
About
Join Ms. Cynthia for a creative celebration of the Mid-Autumn Festival through art and culture! Participants will learn basic Chinese calligraphy brush techniques and discover the traditions of this beloved holiday. We will explore the customs and symbolism of the Mid-Autumn Festival, then practice writing auspicious phrases related to the moon and reunion. Each participant will create a unique fan-shaped paper lantern, beautifully decorated with their own brushwork—a perfect keepsake to take home and enjoy during the festival season. This program is for children ages 7-12 Library staff may take photos, videos, or audio recordings at our events. Please tell us if you do not wish to be photographed, video-recorded, or audio-recorded. We will always respect your requests! An ASL (American Sign Language) interpreter or closed captioning can be provided for this program if requested at least seven (7) days in advance. For assistance, please contact your library or accessibility@aclibrary.org .
