🌺✨ Join Our Heritage Tile Workshop! ✨🌺

One of the distinctive features of 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲𝘀 in 𝗚𝗲𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗲 𝗧𝗼𝘄𝗻 is the 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗲𝘀 that adorn their floors and walls. These 𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲 𝗴𝗲𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝘀, often featuring natural elements like flora and fauna, are symbols of the 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗸𝗮𝗻 𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲. The 𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗳𝘀 on these tiles carry 𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 that reflect Peranakan beliefs and traditions. Today, they stand as icons of cultural fusion and prosperity, a beautiful artistic legacy from a bygone era.

In the workshop, participants will have the chance to create their 𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗲𝘀 on wooden squares. Using a variety of stamps in different shapes and colours, you'll be able to design your own unique tiles, which can be used as 𝗰𝗼𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀.

This workshop is organised by 𝗦𝗶𝗺 𝗔𝗿𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗼, a creative space operated by the father-daughter duo, Sim See San and Sim Jun Hui. Beyond art classes, the studio collaborates with others to organise educational workshops on local cultures, psychology, and paper conservation. Sim Art Space, launched in 2023, also serves as an exhibition space for artists.
