Diwali Craft Workshop: Paint & Decorate Jharokha Candle Holders
2025-10-07 11:00 - 12:00 | Coronado Public Library, 640 Orange Ave, Coronado, CA, 92118, United States
This Diwali, join us for a hands-on craft workshop where we will paint and decorate beautiful Jharokha-style candle holders using sustainable materials, led by Dipali Dewan of OTB Handmadecrafts.
A Jharokha is a distinctive architectural feature of Indian palaces and havelis — an ornate overhanging window or balcony that allowed royalty to view festivities while remaining unseen. Beyond their practical use, Jharokhas became a symbol of beauty, artistry, and craftsmanship in Indian culture. Their intricate designs often featured arches, carvings, and vibrant colors, reflecting the grandeur of India’s architectural heritage.
In this workshop, we will bring that same sense of tradition and artistry into our craft. Each participant will create their own candle holder inspired by the Jharokha design—perfect for celebrating the Festival of Lights.
Whether you are new to Indian culture or simply enjoy exploring creative crafts, this workshop is a wonderful way to experience the spirit of Diwali while making something beautiful to take home.
All materials will be provided. No prior art experience required — just bring your creativity!
This program is for adults over the age of 18. Space is limited, registration is recommended. Walk-ins will be accommodated as space permits.

The Coronado School of the Arts (CoSA) Conservatory of Classical and Contemporary Dance invites audiences to Threads of Resilience, a powerful showcase of original dance works that explore personal transformation and strength. The concert takes the stage Dec. 12 and 13 at 7pm at the Coronado Performing Arts Center at 650 D Avenue. Tickets are available at www.cosafoundation.org/events.
“Adversity and resilience are innate to the human experience,” said Caryn Ipapo-Glass, COSA Dance Director. “In times of divisiveness and polarity it can be difficult to hold on to empathy, or to remember that we collectively have lived experiences that unify us. Our journeys may be vastly different, but joy, fear, love, and loss are universal; and the opportunity for personal growth is always present. Cathartic connection is one of the most powerful aspects of dance, and one of the things I love most about it. When artists are brave enough to share, and audiences are brave enough to be present and to feel, that is when powerful human connections are made.”
This remarkable concert features 10 original dance works, choreographed by both faculty and student artists, and will also include six innovative short dance films that push the boundaries of artistic expression; featuring “Resilience Poems” written by several of the COSA Dance students.
Each dance piece represents a deeply personal narrative, capturing moments of profound life experiences where individuals have confronted adversity and emerged transformed. The choreographers explore themes of resilience, personal growth, and the human spirit’s remarkable capacity to overcome challenges.

“This concert marks my first artistic endeavor with my COSA Dance students and colleagues. Transition in and of itself can be adverse. With it comes a great deal of uncertainty, vulnerability, and required trust. It has been an absolute honor to work within this collective of students and colleagues and I am tremendously grateful for the opportunity we were given to come together to thread and weave our lived experiences, and to witness the impact of our collective resilience,” said Ipapo-Glass.
