Hang a light, and the night turns to paper.

Lantern is a lit-from-behind interface. Every surface is a dyed-tissue pane in dark leading, and the glow does the work an outline never could.

The signature

A pane is light, held in leading.

No card carries a border. Each surface is a tissue pane pressed into a thin dark came, lit from behind so depth comes from the bloom. Where two tissues overlap, the colour multiplies into a glowing third tone.

Lit from behind

The glow is the structure

A candle behind each pane lifts the colour off the night. Focus, depth and emphasis all come from how brightly a pane is lit — never from a heavier edge.

Overlap multiplies

Three luminous colours, laid like light through paper. Overlaps deepen into ember, leaf and plum — they glow, they never dull.

The walk

Eleven makers light the towpath at dusk.

Wickwood's lantern walk runs from the riverbank to the old kiln. Each maker hangs one pane; the panes together become a window strung across the night.

Route

1.4 km, riverbank to kiln

Lamps lit at 7:40, walk closes when the paper carp is set adrift.

Tonight
11

panes hung along the path, each a maker's wish.

Weather

Clear, light breeze

Glassine tissue sheds a drizzle; stewards relight if the wind takes one.

Makers

Bring tissue, leave with light.

A maker chooses one colour, folds a pane, and trims its glow until the bell. Lantern keeps the register and lights the route in order.

For makers

One pane, one wish

Pick amber, rose or teal. Fold it, write the wish that the light will carry, and hang it in your row.

For stewards

Light the window in order

The register shows which panes are lit, which wait, and where the next flame goes along the towpath.
