Make a Korean Lotus Lantern (McMinnville library 7/23/2022)




 

Saturday, July 23, 2022 - 2:00pm


Korean Lotus Lantern Hybrid program at 2:00-3:15pm

The Korean Spirit and Culture Promotion Project (KSCPP) will teach participants step by step how to make a lovely lotus flower lantern using colored paper and a pre-made wireframe. At the same time, the participants will learn about Korea’s unique history and culture. A short documentary film is played toward the end of the class.

This is a LIVE class that can be done at the library, or from home starting at 2pm.

If you have speedy internet access at home, pick up your kit from the library Children's Room (program is designed for teens and adults too!) in advance of the event time and follow the instructions to access the Zoom meeting. 

Space is limited to 20 people at the library and 55 kits are available for from-home participants. 

Email libref@mcminnvilleoregon.gov for more information 

I'm still confused. Can you explain it again? Sure!

Option 1- Do you have the internet at home? Can you follow a virtual program (on Zoom)? You don’t need a camera or microphone, but it’s a nice touch for participation.  If you feel comfortable with internet and Zoom access, then join us from home! First, register in advance and collect your kit materials and Zoom link from the Children’s Room at the library.

Option 2 - RSVP to attend in person at the library (spaces are limited!) Then show up at 1:50pm to get settled before the program starts at 2pm.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Do I need to bring anything? Nope, All materials are provided

How do I guarantee myself a kit? Space is limited at the library. You must register in advance through one of the following options:

1.    Sign up in the Library Children’s Room to attend in person

3.    Email libref@mcminnvilleoregon.gov to reserve your space and/or kits and come to the library to pick up materials (if participating from home)

What ages is this project for? We recommend this for youth ages 10 and above. Adults are absolutely welcome to join!

Can I take a kit and figure it out on my own later? We are reserving all of our kits for the LIVE program. Reach out to the library after the program (libref@mcminnvilleoregon.gov) to see if we have leftover materials.

Can I get the recording? At the discretion of our program host KSCPP, this program will not be recorded. You must attend the program during the program time (2pm – 3:15pm).
