About this event
Are you a fan of board games? Have you ever wondered what could be done with leftover mooncake boxes from the mid-autumn festival? Join us in transforming mooncake boxes into your own beautiful collection of board games!
In this workshop, you will learn basic laser cutting skills and make some board games through upcycling mooncake boxes. It can be a collection of classic board games such as Connect 4, Aeroplane Chess, Chinese Checkers — you name it! You don’t need to have any prior experience of laser cutting to make this happen. Our trained instructors will be there to help and teach you everything, from how to draw sketches to how to use the machine. You can also add different decorations or paintings to turn it into a unique set of board games. Let’s breathe new life into mooncake boxes and relive your childhood memories with traditional games!
