Sunday (3 & 10 May): 2.30pm - 6.30pm

Capture the charm of Joo Chiat’s iconic shophouses in this guided watercolour workshop, inspired by the area’s rich cultural heritage shaped by trade, migration, and community life. Known for its colourful facades and Peranakan influences, Joo Chiat reflects Singapore’s history as a vibrant hub of culture, traditions and trade.

Suitable for all levels, participants will learn expressive watercolour techniques to paint depth, colour, and architectural detail, and leave with their own artwork to take home.
