“Every student has a unique creative voice. Our role is to develop strong technical foundations — drawing, painting, composition — so that voice can come through with confidence. In small groups of 3–6, we see each student clearly and guide their growth personally.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Felting needles are sharp and barbed, which is why we recommend this workshop for ages 5 and above. Our instructor demonstrates safe handling techniques at the start, and younger participants receive close one-on-one guidance throughout the session to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.

No experience is needed at all. Needle felting is one of the most beginner-friendly fibre arts because the technique is intuitive — you shape wool by repeatedly poking it with a barbed needle. Our instructor guides you from the very first step, and most participants complete a charming finished piece within the two-hour session.

Absolutely. Still life sketching is one of the best starting points for drawing because you work from real objects in front of you rather than from imagination. Our instructor breaks every step down clearly, from initial shape blocking to final shading, so complete beginners leave with a finished piece they are proud of.

You will learn how the direction and quality of light creates highlights, mid-tones, and shadows on three-dimensional objects. Understanding this relationship is the single most important skill in realistic drawing, and once you see it, you will notice it everywhere — it transforms how you observe the world.

No. We use high-quality air-dry clay that hardens naturally at room temperature within 24–48 hours. You take your tray home the same day and it will be fully solid and ready to use within two days. The acrylic paint and sealant we apply in class protect the finished piece for long-term use.

Yes, this is our most accessible workshop for young participants. Air-dry clay is non-toxic, and all tools are safe for small hands. Children aged 3–5 love the tactile experience of shaping and stamping clay, and parents are welcome to join in and create alongside their child.

We use Speedball safety carving tools, which have a palm-grip handle and guarded blade designed to reduce the risk of slipping. That said, carving requires controlled hand movements and blade awareness, which is why we recommend this workshop for ages 7 and above. Our instructor demonstrates safe carving technique at the start and supervises closely throughout.

Bold, high-contrast designs with clear shapes and strong outlines produce the most striking lino prints. Think graphic patterns, simple animal silhouettes, leaf shapes, or lettering. Our instructor helps you simplify your initial sketch into a design that will carve and print cleanly — you do not need to be an experienced artist to get great results.

We offer monthly themed workshops including botanical drawing, character design, ceramic art, watercolour painting, acrylic techniques, and mixed media. Each workshop is a standalone session — no commitment or prior enrolment required. Themes change monthly, so you can join as many or as few sessions as you like throughout the year. See our latest art workshop themes.

We run art workshops monthly, typically on weekends at our Bishan and Woodlands studios. Each month features a different theme and art medium, so there is always something new to explore. Contact us via WhatsApp for upcoming dates, available time slots, and the current month's creative theme.

Workshop fees are $128 per 2-hour session. All materials are included in the price — paints, brushes, canvases, and specialist supplies for the session's theme. You take home your completed artwork at the end. No long-term commitment is required, and you can attend individual sessions whenever a theme interests you.

Most workshops run for 2 hours, allowing enough time to learn new techniques, apply them to a guided project, and complete your artwork without rushing. The session includes a brief introduction to the theme, hands-on instruction from our art tutors, and dedicated time for finishing touches and creative exploration.

No prior experience is needed! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels, from absolute beginners to practised artists. Our instructors guide you step-by-step through each project, breaking down techniques into clear and manageable stages.

Yes! You take home your completed artwork from every workshop. It is yours to keep, display, or gift to someone special. Our tutors also provide tips on how to preserve and present your piece.

Art Workshops in Singapore — What to Expect

Art workshops at Art by Ancourage are standalone 2-hour creative sessions for kids, teens, adults, and seniors — no enrolment or prior experience required. Each monthly workshop focuses on a different theme and medium: watercolour landscapes, ceramic trinket trays, acrylic pouring, botanical drawing, character design, and mixed-media collage are recent examples. Sessions are led by LASALLE-trained instructors in small groups of 3–6 participants, so every attendee receives hands-on guidance and takes home a completed artwork. All materials — paints, brushes, canvases, clay, aprons, and specialist supplies — are included in the $128 fee. Workshops run on weekends at the Bishan studio (152 Bishan Street 11, near Bishan MRT CC15/NS17) and Woodlands studio (Vista Point, 548 Woodlands Drive 44, near Woodlands South MRT TE3), making them accessible from Ang Mo Kio, Toa Payoh, Sembawang, and surrounding estates. Workshops are popular for school holiday activities, family bonding, and adults looking for a creative one-off experience without committing to a regular programme.
