Chinese lanterns are symbols of hope, celebration, and good fortune, often used during festivals to bring people together and brighten special moments. In the session, you’ll explore this beautiful tradition while creating your own handmade lantern with delicate paper-cut designs and decorations.
During the session, you’ll be guided through each stage using simple tools and materials. You’ll learn to shape, assemble, and decorate your lantern while discovering the meaning behind it.
What you’ll explore:
  • The cultural significance of Chinese lanterns and the inspiration behind traditional designs.
