What to expect

Discover the heritage of Chinese seal carving in this 1.5-hour workshop that reimagines this revered artform for today. Once practised by scholars and artists in Singapore’s early communities, seals were personal emblems of identity, artistry, and legacy

Participants will learn about the history and symbolism of seal carving before trying a simplified version using foam board, making this heritage craft more accessible while preserving its essence. Each participant will design and carve their own unique seal, linking creativity with cultural tradition. Sign up for the 16 and 23 May sessions to experience designing maritime-themed motifs, in support of Singapore HeritageFest 2026!
