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!

Great session as an introduction to batik painting. The session was well run with all the right equipment to get the most out of the experience. Would definitely recommend to those visiting Singapore.
