Experiencing Craft and Design through Weaving: A Hands-On Workshop for Families
This workshop is recommended for families with children aged 4 to 9. All children must be accompanied by an adult.
Traditional crafts are part of Singapore’s intangible cultural heritage (ICH), and local craft practitioners have long been using intricate techniques to create objects of rich functional, aesthetic, and socio-cultural significance.
Led by ketupat weaver Anita Tompang and designer Andrew Loh, join the workshop to explore the cultural heritage and design possibilities behind the traditional craft of ketupat weaving.
The workshop will also include an interactive and hands-on session for children to experience the joy of craft-making – with ketupat weaving demonstrations, as well as simple weaving activities using paper strips to make and assemble their own woven objects to take home.
This workshop is part of the National Heritage Board’s inaugural Craft X Design programme, which seeks to explore the intersections between craft, culture, heritage, and design.
