Anjung Temu Decorative Painting Workshop

Anjung Temu is a community art space specializing in decorative painting using the decoupage method—a technique where images or paper cutouts are glued onto surfaces and sealed with layers of paint or varnish to create intricate, handcrafted designs. Through its Painting Lab and curated programmes, it offers hands-on workshops that make decorative painting accessible, allowing participants to explore traditional-inspired motifs, patterns, and techniques in a relaxed, welcoming environment.

Join us on 10 May from 2PM – 5PM for a hands-on, slow-paced workshop where you’ll paint your own beautifully crafted wooden pieces — designed to be both decorative and functional, perfect for marking your place between the pages of your favourite books.

Rooted in the idea of mindful making, this workshop invites you to explore colour, texture, and personal expression through acrylic painting. Participants can choose from a curated selection of floral patterns or take a more intuitive approach and create their own designs. Whether you follow a guide or go completely off-script, the process is entirely your own — with gentle guidance provided throughout the session.

Each participant will receive two wooden pieces, offering the opportunity to experiment with different styles, colour palettes, or create one to keep and one to gift. To complete your pieces, you can finish them with a ribbon for a soft, decorative touch, or keep things minimal — entirely up to you.
