Each year many visitors enjoy the twinkling wonderland of Longwood's outdoor holiday light display. Longwood’s lighting experts will show how to create magical lighted scenes for your home. Students will learn the techniques to beautify and highlight outdoor spaces, and later will take a walk as the sun sets to see the sparkling beauty of Longwood's outdoor display. After going over safety tips and electrical information, each student will begin to construct a lighting project to take home. Dress for an outdoor walk and indoor classroom time. Materials to start your own lighting project are included.
