15 art workshops in Singapore for a therapeutic rest from the hustle and bustle

Respite from the busy hustle and bustle can come in many forms, one of which is making art. Giving ourselves the room to create and let imagination take flight can prove to be a pleasant, therapeutic rest – a hideway from busy activities at work or in school.

It’s a good thing that you don’t have to be an experienced artist or deft with your hands to have fun creating. Art workshops and art jamming studios in Singapore offer calming refuge for absolute beginners as well as skillful artisans alike. Here, we share 15 ones that you can enjoy together with your friends and loved ones!

Art workshops in Singapore

1. Pottery Workshop at Taoz Ceramics Art Studio

Right in town, Taoz Ceramics Art Studio is a hidden gem of a pottery studio that lets you step away from the city’s bustle for a while and get your hands dirty with clay.

It’s not just about getting messy too. With the help of passionate pottery instructors, you’ll steadily sculpt an unshapely lump of clay into something special! Whether a cup, bowl, or vase, what you want to create on the potter’s wheel is up to you.

After you’re done with wheel throwing, you can choose to pay an additional S$10 to glaze and fire your handmade piece. Since there’re many other pottery pieces that are also waiting to be fired, you’ll have to come back to the studio three months later to collect your finished pottery.

Prices

If you agree that there’s something just so therapeutic about moulding soft clay in your hands, then go ahead and book a 30-minute wheel-throwing pottery workshop at Taoz Cermaics Art Studio for S$29.10 on Klook!

2. Rug Tufting Workshop at Cutloop Studio

Art jamming sessions aren’t new, but tufting art workshops have emerged and grown more popular in recent years.

Tufting involves using a tufting gun to punch a needle through a backing fabric. The backing fabric is stretched over a wooden frame – much like a canvas – and you’ll run the tufting gun over it, weaving the yarn into the fabric as you go.

What’s interesting is, even as you witness rows of stitches appear on your side of the fabric, your design is really taking shape on the other side of the cloth. The tufts of colourful yarn on the flip side of the fabric thus gradually evolve into your final, finished art piece!

Fret not, Cutloop Studio’s friendly instructors will guide you through the entire process, from learning to use the tufting gun to transferring your design onto the backing fabric.

After you’re done with your design, just leave it to the studio to tidy it up and apply the final backing. You’ll receive your rug at your doorstep two to four weeks later!

Price

If you’re having a tuft time at work, why not tuft it out at Cutloop Studio’s Rug Tufting Workshop for S$188 when you purchase on Klook? It’s a four-hour session, plus you get to take your finished rug home too.

3. Terrazzo and Marble Tray Making Workshop at FAYY

Jesmonite trays are elegant decor pieces that can be used to hold small items like scented candles, jewellery or little potted plants to brighten up your home.

It’s hard to believe that such sophisticated decor items can be created during a single two-hour workshop, but really it’s not as difficult as it seems. FAYY teaches you to make your own terrazzo and marble-style Jesmonite trays, customised to the colours and patterns of your choice.

You can choose to make either round or oblong trays at FAYY’s art workshop. For a round tray, the price is S$81.40 per pax and S$292.80 for a group of four. To make an oblong tray, FAYY charges S$122 per pax and S$440 for a group of four.

4. Paper-making workshop at Print & Matters

Get crafty whilst doing something good for the earth at the Handmade Paper Workshop by Print & Matters! That’s because you’ll be using paper waste – scrap paper or papers that were meant to be thrown away – to make fresh pieces of paper, an upcycling process that reduces waste.

Step into a paint-splashed studio at Motion Art Space and you’ll realise that you can truly make art in as wild and as messy ways as you wish. In fact, whipping paint onto your canvas is what you’re supposed to do to create your glorious masterpiece.

Your tools will be a spin table and swinging pendulum bottle. Place the canvas onto the table, fill the pendulum bottle with the colour of your choice and let gravity do the work. You can also turn on the spinner and use brushes to fill the canvas. Or, you can combine both.

There’s so much to get creative with, like mixing your paints, selecting your desired colour palette, and using smaller brushes to create splatters of paint on the canvas. You can also choose to swing the pendulum in different directions, or use larger bottles to create bigger splashes.
