3-Hour Adults Watercolour Painting Workshop – Singapore Themed / Floral
What better way to mark National Day than by painting the city you love?
This 3-hour guided watercolour workshop offers a choice of Singapore-themed or floral compositions — both beautiful, both beginner-friendly, both worth the three hours.
You'll work through the painting step by step with an instructor, leaving with a finished piece you'd genuinely want to frame.
An ideal long-weekend activity for adults who want to try something creative without any prior art experience.

Walk in feeling depleted and walk out looking and feeling genuinely refreshed with this therapy, available for just $89 (U.P. $99).
Coffee Appreciation Workshop
For the person who starts every morning with a coffee but has never really understood what's in the cup.

You'll work through several cups, compare flavours and leave with a far better understanding of what you've been drinking every day.
