The Art at Work Studio was the scene of some intensive lantern making today on 11th Avenue just across form Victoria Park where the 3rd Annual Downtown Ice & Fire Carnival will take place starting next week.
The lanterns are colourful creations molded over humble balloons.
They will eventually be fitted with an old-fashioned candle.
They will then be suspended to a pole and on the eveving of February 17, they will be carried by procession participants. Every Saturday afternoon from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm, members of the public are invited to come and make their own lantern at the studio until Feb. 17.
The Art at Work Studio is quite the scene these days as performances are planned and various installations and configurations are being experimented with.
This being the year of the boar according to the Chinese calendar, pigs will have a special place in our heart.
This miniature snowman is actually a delightful meringue prepared by Mieka Wiens, manager of the University Club at the University of Regina.
Much or the artistic drive of the Downtown Ice & Fire Carnival comes from New Dance Horizons artistic director Robin Poitras. She will be spending many hours helping make costumes for the upcoming February 17 procession.
To get a sense of what the Carnival actually looks like when it is underway, look at the photographs from last year right here.
