About this event

Discover Singapore’s heritage through a 1.5-hour lantern-making workshop. Once a common sight during Mid-Autumn Festival and temple events, handmade lanterns reflect a craft rooted in community life. Learn the traditional paper strapping method, personally passed down to our instructors by veteran craftsman Mr Yeo Swee Huat, who has dedicated his life to preserving this fading artform

Guided step by step, you’ll craft your own lantern while exploring the cultural symbolism and history behind it. With all materials provided, this hands-on workshop is perfect for families, friends, and all ages.

Note: The workshop will be conducted either at Arts Resource Hub @ 42 Waterloo Street or a classroom at Waterloo Centre. Both locations are located within 3 mins walk from Bras Basah MRT Station Exit E and 5 mins walk from Bencoolen MRT Station Exit B. Participants will receive an email with the exact location at least three days before the workshop.
