Description

Note: Registration closes September 18.

Facilitated by Jane Chang

Join our celebration of the Chinese Mid-Autumn Moon Festival! The instructor will begin this class with a 45-minute talk about the holiday while she simultaneously creates a brush painting of Chang'e, the Moon Goddess who drank an immortality potion and floated up to live in the sky. After a 15-minute break, students will have 90 minutes for a hands-on workshop on brush-painting chrysanthemums, a classic symbol of fall in China. The Folklife Center of Northern NJ will also provide traditional mooncake cookies and chrysanthemum tea for participants to sample.
