Choose Your DIY Workshop:


🏮 Lantern Making

Create your own colourful decorative lantern!

How it works:
Choose your materials and colours, assemble the lantern structure, then decorate it with your own creative patterns and details. Once finished, your handmade lantern is ready to take home and display.



🧵 Kids’ Embroidery

Discover the fun of embroidery with an easy, beginner friendly project designed especially for kids.

How it works:
Pick a simple pattern, learn how to thread and use basic embroidery stitches, then slowly bring your design to life with colourful thread. Take your completed embroidery piece home when you're done!



🪭 Lacquer Art Fan

Experience the beauty of traditional lacquer inspired colour art and create a completely unique fan of your own.

How it works:
Start by adding drops of your favourite colours into the prepared water tray to create beautiful floating patterns. Then choose the fan shape you like and gently dip it into the colours, allowing the flowing pigments to create a one of a kind design.

After the fan is coloured, make it even more personal by adding your own drawings, patterns, Chinese characters, names, or decorative messages. Every fan turns out differently, so your finished piece will be truly unique to you!



🥁 Opera Rattle Drum Painting

Paint and personalize your own traditional style Chinese rattle drum.

How it works:
Choose your colours, paint your own patterns or character inspired designs on the drum, and add decorative details to make it uniquely yours. Once completed, you can take your handmade rattle drum home and have fun playing with it too!



🌸 Traditional Pearl Fridge Magnet

Create an elegant, vintage style pearl fridge magnet inspired by traditional Chinese decorative craftsmanship and intangible cultural heritage.

How it works:
Start with a decorative fabric base and arrange your design using fabric pieces, pearls, and traditional style ornaments. Carefully secure each element with glue, layer the materials to create texture and dimension, and add pearl details to give your piece an elegant, classical Chinese look.

Finish your design with your own creative arrangement and turn it into a beautiful decorative fridge magnet. It is a small handmade piece that combines traditional cultural inspiration with modern everyday use.


🌟 No Experience Needed
All workshops are beginner friendly, and materials will be provided. Just bring your creativity and enjoy the experience!
