Review Body: Went for their leather cover book binding workshop on a Tues afternoon. My friend and I were the only 2 customers for the 1st 2 hours so it really felt like a private lesson. The instructor was really patient and friendly! (I'm so sorry I don't remember her name but I believe it starts with a H!) Super comfortable space! Easy to locate as well following the video instructions on their IG page. Materials were already prepared and laid out on the table when we came in. The instructor gave us full creative freedom and came in to help us when she saw us struggling. Book binding with a leather cover is quite unique and you are able to customize it to an extent. Highly recommend this activity for all!

Review Body: Our teacher Ereen was so lovely! She made the experience so enjoyable and even stayed later than our booking timing to make sure that we had enough time. Although book binding was a little more precise and difficult than I expected, we had such a fun evening and we walked away with super beautiful notebooks :) Highly recommended!

Review Body: There were some things we liked about this workshop and a few we feel could be improved on. Firstly we were happy with our final product, it's a nice keepsake. Second the teacher was very friendly and personable. However, we arrived a little early to be prepared and then the teacher was a little late, this meant that we were standing in the hot corridor waiting which wasn't very pleasant. We also tried to call the facilitator but no one answered. Additionally, the actual venue was a bit tricky to find, it's in an industrial building and the entrance wasn't clear or well marked, some instructions on the session info would be helpful. I think when we signed up that we expected to have a teacher who was an expert in bookbinding (that may have been our misunderstanding) but the teacher was coming more from a fun activity perspective as part of a variety of classes at the venue rather than being a specialist. In general little things would make the experience better like having the space setup and ready, having enough of each letter for the name embossing and a few more needles. An introduction and outline would also be really good, briefly going through the plan for the session, steps and outcomes. Overall it was a fun time but not something that wowed us.

Review Body: Decided to do a new activity for my birthday and attended the Art & Music Jam | Paint & Play a Ukulele session with a friend. We were welcomed to SGM to learn the basic of playing an ukulele with light-hearted and refreshing methods. After an hour of learning about chords, strumming patterns and attempting to play Despacito as a team of 4, we moved over to Avant-Garde to play on a brand new ukulele. (And they have a puppy called Merah 💯) With the guidance of the staffs who played a major role, making the entire experience extremely enjoyable as they listened to what I liked to paint on my personal ukulele without being intrusive and judgement, and helped to achieve the color and design that I had in mind. The comforting environment, amazing staffs and Merah can make you forget about your troubles just for that few hours and immerse in painting. Definitely an experience to remember for a life time and would return again if they have another workshop that strikes my interest. They also gave me a present for my birthday! (I forgot to take my ukulele bag 😂 so remember to grab yours before leaving!)

Review Body: Dani was an incredible host; his passion for art and teaching shone through! He taught us how to mix colours and types of brushstrokes we needed to achieve the look we wanted, and he encouraged us to experiment and use as much paint as we needed to test and learn. Over the few hours we spent, he shared with us the story of how he started this studio during Covid, and how he was self-taught. Nonetheless, one of the standout features of this art jamming class was the absence of any time limits for us to paint like other studios! Also, you can paint on their walls 😆 There's a really pretty lounge outside the studio, which holds an art gallery for local artists' work, which were absolutely breathtaking to admire.
