Coming to Luminaria: Taiwanese Lanterns

This Saturday, March 12, is Luminaria: Arts Night in San Antonio (HemisFair Park, 6:00 pm - midnight). Three of the guest artists are lantern designers and makers from Taiwan. They've been building their creations at Southwest School of Art & Craft this past week. We had them over to the house Sunday night, where they showed Dave, Chris, and Dylan how to make one of the lantern elements.

Here's Chris getting the bamboo strips ready...
