About this Event

Welcome to the Maidstone Hackspace Spooky Halloween Lantern Workshop!

This introductory course is designed for all ages and skill levels, from beginners to experienced crafters. Whether you’re seeking a creative outlet to manage stress, build confidence, or simply explore the therapeutic benefits of Creative Practice as Mutual Recovery (CPMR), this workshop provides the perfect opportunity. You’ll design and create your own spooky, laser-cut Halloween lantern, with guidance from our team using traditional methods, graphic tools, or even artificial intelligence.


What Can You Create?

  • Spooky Decor: Craft eerie lanterns to light up your home or garden for Halloween.
  • Artistic Flair: Create intricate designs to add a personal touch to your Halloween decorations.
  • Family Fun: Get creative with the whole family, making lanterns featuring ghosts, pumpkins, or your favourite spooky characters.
  • Unique Gifts: Design personalised lanterns for Halloween parties or special autumn events.


No prior experience is necessary! We provide all materials, including laser-cut parts, assembly tools, and LED lighting. Bring your design or create one with us—our team will help refine and prepare it for laser cutting. While not required, it would be beneficial if attendees could bring their own laptops to maximise their experience when working on graphic design.


This fun, engaging workshop also provides an opportunity to explore some of our other courses, including:

  • Custom LED Lanterns / Luminaries
  • Laser Cut Wall Art
  • Mobile Phone Stands
  • Laser Engraving Lino Art
  • Design and Laser Cut Earrings
  • 3D Layered Wood Relief Sculptures
  • Laser Cut Christmas Ornaments
  • Bedside Accessory Stand
  • Custom Name Signs
  • Kids Night Lights or Mood Lamps


These workshops are funded by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) and Maidstone Borough Council, with the aim of:


  • Increasing pride in our borough and its communities
  • Increasing participation and engagement in arts and cultural activities, working with diverse audiences
  • Supporting new and existing creative talent in the borough
  • Promoting the benefits of arts and culture to our society, economy, health, and wellbeing


Important Advisory: The workshop is held on the third floor of the Maidstone Community Support Centre, which regretfully lacks lift access. Therefore, we advise against applying if you are unable or find it difficult to climb stairs. We are working to improve this situation for the future.

Feedback: At the end of the course, attendees will be asked to complete a short survey to help Maidstone Hackspace gather feedback on the participants' experience.

Join us at Maidstone Hackspace to create, inspire, and take home a spooky Halloween lantern!
