Spotlight: Calligraphy Art Jam In A Historic Shophouse
We talk a lot about skill-building here at SG Culture Pass. But sometimes, you do not want a lesson. You do not want a teacher correcting your stroke angle. You just want to let go.
That is why we are obsessed with this Calligraphy Art Jam.
Hosted by the Baroque House, this experience flips the script on traditional Chinese calligraphy. Usually, this art form is about rigid discipline and years of practice. Here? It is about "no rules" expression.
The Vibe: Ink, Paper, and Zen
Imagine stepping into a conserved historic shophouse. Chinese instrumental music plays softly in the background. You have brushes, ink, and vast stretches of rice paper in front of you.
The atmosphere is designed for one thing: slowing down.
We love that the founder views ink as a "sublime medium." The monochrome palette removes the stress of color theory. You just focus on the movement of the brush and the flow of the ink. It is less of a class and more of a meditation session that happens to result in art.
Collaborative or Solo
If you go as a trio, you can work together on a single long scroll. It creates a beautiful, collaborative mess of creativity that is perfect for friends looking for unique things to do in Singapore.
Flying solo? You get your own section of a scroll to fill with whatever flows out of your mind.
Who This Is For
If you are seeking Singapore cultural workshops that double as mental health breaks, this is it. It is an aesthetic social experience where you can "come to centre" without the pressure of perfection.
Why We Recommend It
It offers a rare chance to play with traditional tools—Chinese brushes and scrolls—without the weight of tradition bearing down on you. It feels authentic yet completely accessible to modern beginners.
Think of it as the abstract cousin to the Landscape Painting Workshop we featured recently. Instead of capturing a scene, you are capturing a feeling.
