This quarterly staff get-together, we decided to have Henna Art session. It’s part cultural learning and skill enhancement for our face-painting crew. We were fortunate to have a good teacher and henna artist to teach us the basics of henna painting. Ms Wani of Pesona Belle Henna gave a brief run-down of Henna basics. She then guided us through simple exercises to acquire the proper techniques of dispensing natural henna from the cone. By end of the 2-hour session we were confident enough to stain ourselves with henna.

April 25, 2013Community Batik At Potong Pasir for Passion Arts Month
April 25, 2013Wednesday Night Batik Class
April 24, 2013Our weekly batik class is still on-going every Wednesday evening 7-9:30pm. The price is more than reasonable at only $20 per session. All materials provided. We understand that location of our studio at Goodman Arts Centre is a bit off to some and unfortunately Wednesday evening is the only slot we can manage as we have engagements for arts events almost every weekend. Other than that its really about how genuine is your interest to learn batik. Its not about how many lesson to get a certificate it is about owning the craft and enjoying it. That is why our sessions are free and easy and our instructors can guide you at any level.
Mr. Lai has been attending the sessions regularly and he has been able to make interesting pieces in class.

Funny Faces! Assembly Programme at Bukit Panjang Primary School
March 21, 2013We did 3 assembly programmes catering to different levels. This is prior to the school holidays so it was great fun and laughter for all. In half an hour, a professional artist explains the art of caricature with a funny twist through a colourful slide presentation followed by a ‘live’ demonstration of volunteers from the crowd. For this school it was a teachers and a student drawn for each session. The caricature drawing process is projected on screen and completed with colouring in minutes. Laughter fills the hall as students see a familiar face being exaggerated in drawing. The objective is to inspire students to love drawing and appreciation of the arts. This programme is endorsed by the National Arts Council / Art Enrichment Programme and is eligible for 50% Tote Board grant.
