Cyanotype Lantern Workshop

Sat 19 Sep 2026
5pm – 7.30pm

Celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival—also known as the Mooncake Festival or Moon Festival—with a hands-on lantern-making workshop at Objectifs – Centre for Photography and Film in Singapore. This family-friendly art session puts a creative twist on traditional celebrations by combining lantern crafting with the magical cyanotype printing process, a historical photographic technique that creates beautiful blue-and-white prints using sunlight.

Workshop highlights:

Create personalised lanterns using cyanotype, a UV light-sensitive technique perfect for unique artistic expression
Design prints with natural materials and everyday objects before transforming them into glowing paper lanterns
Join an evening lantern walk around Objectifs and showcase your handmade creation in a festive group activity
Learn about the cultural meaning behind the Mid-Autumn Festival, including themes of reunion, gratitude, and reflection
Ideal for families, kids (ages 10+), and creative adults—no prior art or photography experience needed

Enjoy a meaningful and fun-filled celebration that blends heritage, creativity, and community spirit under the full moon. This is a perfect Mid-Autumn Festival activity in Singapore for those looking to make memories and handmade art with loved ones.

All materials are provided.
