Lotus Lantern Workshop

Join the Portsmouth Public Library for an online workshop with the Korean Spirit and Culture Promotion Project (KSCPP). Learn to make a paper lotus lantern and watch a short documentary film called Korea Today.

Registration is required. All materials will be provided, and must be picked up from Portsmouth Public Library in advance. Free and open to all.

Since 2005, KSCPP has endeavored to share the true Korea with the world. Korea has been home to more than 70 extraordinary legacies, such as the world’s first moveable metal type printing technique, and the oldest astronomical observatory. Attendees will learn the heart-warming and often heart-breaking tale of the country’s ascent from the ashes of the Korean War (1950-1953), to one of the world’s top ten economies today.

KSCPP was founded by Kim Jae Woong in 2005. A not-for-profit, non-government organization dedicated to the promotion of greater awareness and understanding of Korean history and culture, its headquarters are in Seoul, Korea, with branches in New York, Los Angeles (USA), Kaufering (Germany) and London (UK).
