LINOCUT PRINTING
In the past, skilled artisans would carve highly detailed wood or linoleum blocks for printing. You too can relive and experience this traditional craft using a variety of hand carving tools and rubber carving blocks in our linocut printing workshop.

Great Instructor
I just wanted to thank you again for the wonderful workshop this afternoon! My mom and I really enjoyed the whole process, and I think that you were a great instructor– you explained the key concepts in a way that was simple to understand for complete beginners and for myself, you gave me pointers on how to improve my technique.

A Ton of Fun
Jeffrey was very accommodating, and a very patient instructor. The workshop was booked as a birthday gift for my partner, and Jeffrey was so kind to work with our schedule. The workshop was a ton of fun, if also a bit of work 😛 Jeffrey was very well prepared and had even printed and processed our design ideas before we arrived. He was very knowledgeable, and also able to make his knowledge understandable to us, the novices. We are both thrilled with our prints and look forward to using the tips Jeffrey gave on finding supplies to continue this new hobby. Recommended without reservation!

Patient and Kind
Super fun! Lucky to enjoy a 1:1 session with Jeff who is a great, patient and kind teacher. The process was smooth and clear and I’m walking away with the knowledge and enthusiasm to practise more myself. Studio space is lovely and bright— could easily spend longer playing around with the technique. Highly recommend and would be happy to come back next time I’m visiting Singapore.

Beautiful Conducive Studio
Jeffrey did a very detailed but not overwhelming introduction to paper marbling covering techniques to create different patterns. The terms and tools are explained and simplified so we can repeat this craft at home. Studio was beautiful and conducive. Highly recommended.

So Calming
I really recommend this class to anyone who is looking for fun. Let me tell you I have no artistic background whatsoever, I am more of a numbers person. I took this class because I was interested in the idea of paper marbling and I didn't expect I would do really good, But I produced 5 really pretty awesome pieces of art. In addition to that, the whole process is so calming. I really recommend this taking this class! I am actually going to recommend it to my work friends and might do a group event too!

Fun and Memorable
I really enjoyed the paper marbling class. Jeff was patient with us and ensured the techniques were easy to understand. He was also ready to provide advice whenever we needed help. The small class size was also very conducive to learning and we were all able to learn from one another. It was an extremely fun and memorable experience that I would highly recommend for anyone who wants to learn something new.
