Table of Contents
For the uninitiated, art jamming is an activity where you create art – it doesn’t have to be restricted to painting – in an informal and relaxed setting. In contrast to art lessons, art jamming sessions take on a more spontaneous structure where you receive less instruction and are free to make whatever you like.
You might not become fully proficient at the art form by the end of it, but it’s usually a great bonding activity for family and friends, as well as a nice way to destress after a long week.
For those who want a quick overview of the pros and cons of every art jamming studio option, we’ve compiled a table with all the information you need.

We’re all familiar with getting tan lines from standing out in the sun for too long. Well, that’s the premise of how your next masterpiece is going to look like when you book a session at ProjectBlue.
The art jamming studio has cyanotype workshops, where objects such as flowers and leaves are placed on paper or fabric that is soaked in a light-sensitive solution. These are then left out in the sun for the chemicals to react to UV rays. What you’re left with is a print of your objects in a deep indigo blue.
Beginners can start off with the introductory course to get familiar with cyanotype, but advanced printers can try immortalising their favourite selfie with bae into indigo too with the photo workshop.
Price: From $42/pax for a 2-hour session
Food can be works of art, and no, we don’t just mean tiny portions on large plates that make good pics for the ‘Gram. At The Art Nooq, artists and foodies can combine their passions by painting on macarons to make them extra atas.

It’s a delicate job having to paint fine details on something this fragile. Rest assured, the art jam is guided by professionals, so your French pastries will look good enough to hang in The Louvre.
You’ll get 5 macarons to paint during the 2-hour session. The paints are edible too, so you can pop them into your mouth once you’re done snapping pics.
If you’re not a fan of macarons, you can also opt for their regular canvas or tote bag art jamming sessions.
Price: $60/pax for macaron art jamming, $35/pax for canvas or tote bag art jamming

Once complete, the workshop ends with a lesson on basic playing techniques, so you can start jamming immediately.
