Chinese New Year @ Erewash Museum

We spent the whole week working with schools around Ilkeston to create Chinese Dog Puppets and Chinese lanterns to celebrate the Chinese New Year.

On the day of the procession we had around 150 people come and make cylinder lanterns in the Hayloft at Erewash Museum, it was busy phew!! 

The lanterns looked amazing in the procession and tiger puppet gave a great performance in the market place
