Parol Lantern Kit

Thank you for choosing to make a Parol Lantern with me.

I created this kit as a way to share the beloved Filipino tradition of Parol making beyond the workshop. As an artist and designer, making is a way of learning, connecting, and creating space for culture to be shared. I hope this Parol brings light, creativity, joy, and connection into your home.

Welcome to the Parol Lantern Making Demonstration Videos, if you have arrived before the opening of the Walrus show, thank you for your patience, I will be posting the step by step video assembly guide shortly! 

The videos are meant to be accessed at your leisure, you may want to create your parol in one sitting (approximately 2-3 hours) or break it into digestablem part that you can pause, "rewind" and come back to. These videos include:
