Textile and mixed media artist, storyteller and community arts facilitator Paulina Constancia will guide you in making mini cross-stitched hanging stars — a fresh take on the traditional Philippine Christmas parol (lantern).

 

The team from New Westminster Family Place will also be joining us for the evening!  Enjoy creating a Scandinavian brown paper bag holiday stars craft while also learning more about the fantastic services they provide in the community.

 

Plus: the artisan craft market will return to the main floor! You’ll find various handcrafted holiday gifts and artworks, all while supporting our talented New Westminster artists. A big thank you to Arts New West for this wonderful opportunity.
