Family Workshop: Gingerbread House Paper Lantern Decorating with Kate Sigrist

Join us for a sweet and creative family workshop inspired by our spectacular gingerbread exhibition, Gingerbread NYC: The Great Borough Bake-Off 2025! Children ages 6–12 and their grown-ups will team up to design and decorate paper lanterns using pre-cut templates modeled after iconic New York City buildings—crafted by the featured baker herself.

During this hands-on experience, you’ll:

Create together: Assemble and decorate your own NYC-inspired masterpiece.
Meet the artist: Ask the baker behind the exhibition how she built her incredible designs.
Celebrate NYC: Create a taste of the city to decorate your home!
Spaces are limited—reserve your spot today for an unforgettable holiday experience that blends art, architecture, and delicious fun!
