Make a Lantern with Jayanto Tan

BrisAsia Festival 2026 presents Make a Lantern with Jayanto Tan.

Join Sydney-based artist Jayanto Tan for a hands-on paper lantern workshop. Presented by Museum of Brisbane in partnership with Loupe Creative Space, this workshop invites you to celebrate the Year of the Horse through creativity. Guided by Jayanto, you will craft your own lantern while learning about his artistic practice. Once your lantern is complete, you can choose to take it home or add it to a collaborative display within the Museum.

Since food and connection are central to Jayanto’s practice, participants will also receive a fortune cookie, prepared as part of the workshop offering. Come along, create something beautiful together, and be part of a shared celebration.  

Location: Fairfax Gallery
