ASTORIA — HiiH Lights will host a grand opening event at its new HiiH Barn Studio and Showroom from 3 to 7 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 21. The studio is located at RoseMint Ranch, 89120 Lewis and Clark Road.

Founded by Lâm Quảng, HiiH (pronounced “Hi Hi”) Lights creates custom handmade paper lighting for residential and commercial settings.

After almost two decades based in the HiiH Gallery on Alberta Street in Portland, Quảng, his wife, Kestrel Gates, and their family moved to the Lewis and Clark area two years ago. The couple runs the Portland gallery from a distance, and they are now opening a new local studio. The new barn studio and showroom will host workshops, studio sales, art openings and demonstrations.

“Alberta has been a wonderful and nurturing place to grow artistically,” said Quảng, who was inspired by childhood memories of moon festivals from his home in Vietnam when he turned his papermaking skills toward the creation of sculptural lamp forms. “Our new country home by the ocean is already providing so much inspiration for our work.”

The studio is open by appointment. For more information, call 503-493-4367 or visit www.hiihlights.com
