Celebrate the Lunar New Year with Traditional Crafts in Tampines
As the Lunar New Year approaches, there is no better way to get into the festive spirit than by creating your own traditional decorations. Residents of Tampines are invited to a special morning of creativity and community bonding at the upcoming Chinese Lantern Making and Woodblock New Year Painting Workshop. Held at the Tampines Summerville RN, this event promises a hands-on experience that celebrates cultural heritage through art.
Discover the Art of Traditional Crafting
This hands-on session offers a unique opportunity to learn two beautiful art forms. Participants will be guided through the process of crafting colorful Chinese lanterns, which make for perfect additions to any home during the festive season.
