Nestled within the refined confines of The Fullerton Hotel Singapore, an exceptional creative experience awaits those seeking to engage with the city’s architectural heritage in the most tactile and rewarding manner. The East Garden Gallery plays host to an intimate plaster coaster craft workshop, an occasion to exercise one’s artistic sensibilities whilst drawing inspiration from Singapore’s most enchanting shophouse details.
The workshop invites participants to personalise their own plaster coasters, transforming blank canvas into bespoke objet d’art through a meditative creative process. Each coaster becomes a tangible connection to the intricate architectural vocabulary that has defined Singapore’s streetscapes for generations; the ornamental flourishes, the proportional elegance and the historical narratives embedded within these structures serve as the creative wellspring.
What elevates this experience beyond mere craft is the presence of Singaporean artist Kelly Ser, whose artist talk concludes the session. Ms Ser will illuminate the personal stories and historical references woven throughout her practice, offering guests profound insight into the creative impulse that transforms observation into artistic expression. Her discourse promises to deepen one’s appreciation for the symbiotic relationship between Singapore’s built environment and contemporary artistic practice.
The workshop is presented as a complimentary offering, rendering this encounter with artistic culture and architectural heritage entirely accessible. Two sessions accommodate varying schedules: the morning iteration commences at 11.30 a.m., whilst the afternoon session begins at 1.30 p.m., each running for one hour.
The Fullerton Hotel Singapore, positioned as an institutional guardian of the city’s cultural narrative, demonstrates through such offerings a commitment to fostering meaningful engagement with Singapore’s artistic community. The East Garden Gallery provides an appropriately sophisticated setting for this convergence of craft, heritage and creative discourse, allowing guests to depart with not merely a decorative object, but a memory imbued with artistic authenticity and historical significance.
