Japanese Paper Lampshade Craft
Join us for a hands-on Washi Paper Lampshade Workshop!
Did you know that washi — traditional Japanese paper — is so delicately thin that it glows beautifully when light shines through it? In this beginner-friendly workshop, you'll create your very own round washi lampshade using just a balloon and paste. The result? A soft, warm glow that brings a calming, Japanese-inspired ambiance to any room.
No experience needed — just bring your creativity!

About the Concert Program
Two wartime poets expressed disillusionment; two composers spun their poems into evocative musical scores. Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Principal Violist Zhenwei Shi stands in for Childe Harold in Berlioz's picturesque Harold in Italy. Robert Spano presents the "fearless" piano virtuoso Conrad Tao in Bernstein's plaintive and sassy symphony "The Age of Anxiety," inspired by W.H. Auden's Pulitzer Prize-winning poem.
