Helpful Questions

Hello - will the tingkat be dry enough for me to take home on an airplane the same day? I fly out on the day we are looking to do this activity. Thanks!
Mary Liang, 01 Oct 2024
So far, we have had participants complete the workshop and head straight to the airport afterward. While it will be dry, the varnishing may still feel slightly tacky. We usually advise participants to allow their pieces to air dry for at least 24 hours for the best results.
Hello, will you guys be able to come down to do a workshop at HomeTeamNS Khatib for an upcoming peranakan festival? Currently the given dates are 23 and 24 of November.

Hi Sky, to provide a personalized assistance, could you please email us the number of pax joining at chat@seeksophie.com ? Please also indicate the timing you're looking at :)
Is the Tingkat safe for food after painting or is it only decorative?
Erica, 17 Jul 2024
Hi Erica, Yes, it is safe
If I have a group of say 8-10pax . Any refreshments provided cos the workshop is 3 hours . Price quoted included tinggkat to take home right?
Oak ong, 28 Mar 2024
The price includes a mini tingkat to take home as well. Regarding group bookings (minimum of 10), you can still order refreshments, but we kindly ask that you keep the space tidy and utilize the same area, as they often accommodate multiple bookings simultaneously.
Can I opt for one tingkat painting per pair?
XT, 07 Mar 2024
I'm sorry, but unfortunately, the host can't accommodate that request.
