Learn to make a traditional lantern and bring light to this age-old handicraft with a lantern master and one of the few traditional lantern makers left in Malaysia.
Lanterns primarily served as a major light source in the olden days, and also carries blessings in each light. Now they are used as decorations and during celebrations, especially Mid-Autumn Festival. In this experience, you will enjoy the process of making lantern by hand in the cozy atmosphere of my workshop under my guidance. From bending the bamboo sticks to draping clothes onto the wooden lantern frames, this hands-on experience gives you a nostalgic and memorable exploration of this traditional trade in Ipoh.
Lantern making workshop
Make your day brighter and even more meaningful by making your very own lantern. All materials will be provided in this fun, hands-on workshop, guided by the master himself. You get to take your fabulous creations home at the end of the session.
Since lantern making is a traditional craft, a lot of patience and time is needed to create them so it’s not like people can just order the products and have it delivered immediately. It can be quite challenging but the end result is always worth it.
