Join us at Morris-Jumel Mansion on our November ConEd Family and Community Day for a captivating tin punch lantern activity! Explore the rich history of our 18th-century home by crafting your own version of early American lighting. Tin punch lanterns were popular in colonial times, providing both function and artistry, and now you can create your own unique design using aluminum foil! As the days grow shorter, let your creativity illuminate the season. This hands-on experience is perfect for families looking to connect with history and enjoy a day of art, warmth, and community fun. This program is free and open to the public. Materials are provided on a first come, first served basis. Don’t miss out!
Families will use simple recycled materials to build printing plates that capture textures found in everyday life, revealing bold, tactile images through hands on inking and pressing!
