Review Body: I had an absolutely wonderful experience at this batik painting class! The booking process was seamless — confirmation came through almost immediately via WhatsApp, and I was able to select my design from an online album in advance.
When I arrived, I discovered I was the only participant in the session. Unlike other classes I’ve booked through Seek Sophie (where I’m usually asked to reschedule in such cases), this class went ahead just for me — and I’m so glad it did! Baba Tan was a fantastic host and teacher. His instructions were clear, supportive, and easy to follow, and he stayed by my side throughout the class, offering guidance and great conversation.
He also went above and beyond by treating me to a delicious yam tart from a local bakery and a beautifully brewed tea. The whole experience felt so personal and special.
I’m already planning to return on my next visit to Singapore to paint a tiffin carrier (tinkat). This was a superb experience from start to finish — I cannot recommend it highly enough!

Review Body: Our family of 4 -- parents + two teenagers -- had a great time painting with Pei Lin. We loved the batik style painting, first applying wax then paint. We received excellent instructions to have fun with each of our creations. We selected designs ahead of time, which were pre-drawn for us, savings lots of time. This is an excellent way to spend creative time with your travel mates and bring home a lovely memory.

Review Body: When we booked our trip to Singapore this was at the top of the list of things to do. This was my second workshop but a first for my friends. It was the same friendly experience as last time. We were taken through the process of painting a batik step by step, and encouraged to be creative. A lovely way to spend a couple of hours and take away a unique souvenir of our visit.
