Batik Painting Workshop

Kamal Arts has been hosting batik painting experiences in Singapore since 2010. Formerly located at Goodman Arts Centre we have hosted many individuals, foreign tour groups, students, corporate team building, families and even birthday parties. We relocated to Wisma Geylang Serai in late 2019, for better synergy with the Malay arts and cultural activities. An easily accessible location with lots of eateries, visitors can enrich their experience with exposure to this unique enclave of the Singapore Malay population by visiting the Geylang Serai Market hawker centre and wet market via a connecting bridge. They can also learn more about the area by visiting the Geylang Serai Heritage Gallery within the building. Our Reviews from our clients has been encouraging.
