The session was very informative and intriguing. It was held at a private Pernakan museum with so much history. The beading experience was an eye opener into the life of Pernakans back in the days. Angeline was very welcoming and knowledgeable.
Enjoyable and enriching session learning about the Peranakans from Angeline, all the more interesting because my family is Peranakan on my dad's side. Angeline is also a patient, warm and knowledgeable teacher. Beautiful place with lots of history.
The beading workshop was so fun and interesting. Besides learning how to bead, Angie gave us a deep history lesson on Peranakan culture and it's origin. She helped us patiently during beading and was a great teacher. Loved the whole experience, and honestly wish I could do it again!
Very well organised . Enjoyed the detailed explanations and guidance on setting up my frame.
The lady explaining the Perankan culture is so detailed! Overall, the experience was exciting and fulfilling! Definitely worth the money! She also kindly assists each guest with the beading! This is definitely an event that can bond with your friends!
I am not a pernakan but I'm proud to learn the origin of the heritage is uniquely Singapore and Malaysia. The Teacher is passionate with her craft ,she is also kind and flexible enough to allow senior to participate. I like the relax environment.
