Adults-Only Butterfly Lantern Puppet Workshop! – Hapeville, GA

This Butterfly Lantern Puppet workshop is with parade artist Chantelle Rytter for the Hapeville Butterfly Lantern Parade on March 22th! Parade details at www.weirdgonepro.com/butterfly-parade.

We will be making 11” x 17” illuminated butterfly puppets! This involves coloring with markers, scissor-work, hot glue, tape, and a fair amount of manual dexterity.

Tickets are per butterfly. Two people can work on one butterfly (please no more than two).

The butterflies do take every bit of 3 hours to make. Please do your best to be on time. You are welcome to bring a beverage & snack. All materials are included. There is parking behind the church. The entrance to the parking is on Atlanta Ave.

All the workshop dates can be found here.

The Butterfly Lantern Parade is a Hapeville Main Street Project with lantern parade artist Chantelle Rytter.

Chantelle Rytter is a parade artist best known for founding the Atlanta BeltLine Lantern Parade with the Krewe of the Grateful Gluttons, of which she is the proud Captain. Chantelle has created a family of annual lantern parades based in community participation over the last ten years in Sandy Springs, Midtown, and Hilton Head Island. Chantelle grew up in Baltimore and studied integrative arts at Penn State University. She lived in New Orleans for ten years and fell under the spell of parade culture and the notion that creative play can be a civic gift.
