Head to YI Crafts studio in Neasden, London, for this 1.5-hour hands-on workshop and learn the traditional craft of Chinese lantern making, finished with elegant hand paper-cut decorations.

By the end of the session, you'll have picked up genuine insight into this traditional craft, plus a beautiful handmade lantern of your own to take home and display.
No experience is needed – this workshop is made for beginners and also welcomes children aged over 5, making it a great one to share.

YICRAFTS is an east asian handcrafts studio based in north western London in Camden founded in 2019. Its focus is on the beautiful but vanishing traditional handcrafts and cuisine of China’s minority ethnicities. Intercultural sharing is constant and often unconscious throughout our daily lives, and hand crafts are the physical embodiment of culture and cultural sharing.
Founder Yiran is a member of Bai ethnic minority, and she has experienced the great diversity within the UK and London, but I have found that the diverse cultures of China’s numerous ethnic minorities are underrepresented, with ‘China’ viewed as a single cultural source. The opportunity to introduce and share the unique and sometimes surprising customs, traditions and practices of her home province inspires her.
It provides the chance to understand both commonalities and differences in culture, and to understand our shared history.
