Contando uma História Nyonya Através de Miçangas: Uma Jornada ao Mundo do Kasut Manek

Peralatan: Pelajari keterampilan baru dan sejarah budaya Peranakan di Singapura dan Malaya. Instruktur: Sangat terlatih dan berpengetahuan luas tentang budaya dan sejarah.

Bengkel manik-manik ini menyenangkan dan terapeutik! Anda dapat menikmati kue nyonya tradisional, mengenakan kebaya yang indah, dan belajar banyak tentang budaya Peranakan! Cara yang bagus untuk menghabiskan sore akhir pekan Anda!

Previous groups have suggested that participants dress up at the beginning so they can participate in the event while in costume. Those who arrived early would be guided to choose their nyonya kebaya, and if time permitted, they could explore the rooms to take photos. The introduction to Peranakan culture and beading was 2 hours long, and it would be better to break this up into shorter sessions with activities... perhaps being introduced to some of the interesting artifacts in the museum? The beading itself could not be completed there, and participants were expected to take it home to finish. Instead of just a piece of cloth for beading, perhaps it could have the design of a bookmark or pouch so that participants can sew it into a useful product after beading.

Suasana yang indah dan menawan. Guru sangat sabar, seorang nyonya yang siap berbagi budayanya. Bahan-bahan yang disediakan mencukupi. Favorit saya adalah bisa mengenakan kebaya. Banyak pilihan yang tersedia. Semua staf sangat ramah dan membantu!

The teacher (Angeline) was lovely and attentive to everyone. The kueh was most likely from Harriannes - good nonetheless. The technique is well explained and very easy to continue at home. You are only doing motif beading in this workshop though; the Nyonya shoes are a separate advanced class. However, Angeline is very open to creativity for those who are up for a challenge.

Very interactive and fun activity. Angeline is a very patient and nurturing teacher and I learnt a lot in just a short period of time. The afternoon tea is very nice and the dress up in peranakan outfit is fun too. Highly recommended!

J'ai passé un moment merveilleux à découvrir la culture peranakan et les techniques de perlage grâce au personnel peranakan compétent et amical. Ma partie préférée de l'expérience a été de pouvoir porter le coloré nyonya kebaya et de prendre des photos autour du musée qui possède de magnifiques antiquités et meubles peranakan. L'heure du thé avec des kuehs et du thé était également charmante. Je recommande vivement cette expérience !

The whole experience was very fun and enjoyable! You get to dress up in the sarong kebayas from the start which immerses you in the experience. I actually enjoyed the presentation the instructor was giving and didn’t feel it was too long. I had a fun time overall :) Would definitely sign up for the other activities!

Nonya Angelina is very passionate about beads work and imparting knowledge of her heritage to us. I learnt from the session. Dressing up in Nonya costumes and taking photos in the museum is another highlight.

A wonderful dxprrience diving in to the Peranakan culture! We arrived early and we got to rent the nyonya kebaya. They explained the peranakan history and taught us the kasut manek. The needlework is difficult as the beading is small, might be easier if you know cross stitch. We had to stitch a small flower. If cannot finish, we can bring it home. The sewing kit is given to us as a takehome. Before and after the workshop, we took pictures of the things in the museum with the rented kebaya. We were given kuehs to eat as well. Highly recommended to experience this unique and beautiful culture, be it whether you're a tourist or someone who is living here.
