Artist Mr Tan Chye Thiam. This collection of Chinese Calligraphy, Chinese Ink Paintings, and
Wood Carvings reflects his journey in practising Chinese Art over the past two decades. The
Squirrel《松鼠》 ink painting depicts the relationships fostered with his colleagues in the sector and the paths that fellow artists, including his students, went on to create in their lives. Some of the artworks that were previously on display elsewhere have been brought in
specially for this exhibition. Of notable mentions are the art pieces of Gratitude《感恩》and
Hope《希望》 which are on display at Yong-en Active Hub and 365 Cancer Prevention

In the Batik Introduction Handkerchief Painting workshop, participants will learn the traditional art of batik, a wax-resist dyeing technique originating from Indonesia. The workshop begins with a brief history and overview of batik, highlighting its cultural significance and various techniques. Participants will then observe a demonstration of applying wax with tjanting tools and dyeing the fabric. Following the demonstration, each participant will design and create their own batik handkerchief, applying wax to create patterns and then dyeing their fabric. The workshop concludes with a group discussion, allowing participants to share their creations and reflect on their learning experience.
