Crepe Paper Luminous Luna Moth Workshop
RICHMOND HILL | SATURDAY APRIL 18, 2026 @ 10AM-1PM
Step into a quiet, creative morning and welcome Spring by crafting your own Luna Moth using crêpe paper and
wool. The Luna moth – often mistaken for a butterfly – is a striking night moth known for its soft green colour
and long, graceful wings, symbolizing renewal and transformation.
Crêpe paper is a uniquely textured, stretchable material that can be shaped and sculpted into lifelike forms. In
this workshop, guided by artist-instructor Jessie Chui, you’ll colour delicate kozo paper for luminous wings,
shape fluffy wool to mimic natural moth fur, cut fine antenna details, and assemble a finished hanging piece
ready for display. By the end of the class, your Luna Moth will be ready to rest on your wall, suspended with
wire and mounted using a European push pin. This class is perfect for beginners and experienced crafters
alike. All tools and materials provided upon payment of $15.00 Materials Fee to instructor at workshop. Please
bring a pair of sharp scissors.
