A wonderful and unique experience. Very welcoming and the lovely siblings that run the shop were so helpful. My friend and I chose the 2.5 - 3 hour class on Christmas Day and there was no pressure to get the lantern made within this timeframe. The best part, you get to take your unique, completed lantern home. It was a special, fulfilling experience that I will treasure forever.
