Our home in the heart of Katong
Chalk N Pencils at Katong Point is our art studio in the heart of Joo Chiat, on Singapore's East Coast. You'll find us on the third floor of Katong Point, a short drive from Marine Parade, Siglap and East Coast Park, which makes it an easy weekly choice for families on the east side of the island. We run children's and adult art classes here in small groups, taught by artist-teachers who put creativity and expression first.
Why East Coast families choose us
Small classes, real artist-teachers, and an approach that puts a child's own creativity and expression first. For families on the east side, it is art worth the weekly trip, without the drive across town.
Make a day of it in Joo Chiat
Joo Chiat was named one of the world's coolest streets by Time Out in 2025 (number 14), and it is right on our doorstep. A few of our own favourites, all close to the studio:
Little Farms Bistro
right downstairs in Katong Point, so it is the easy one. A grocer and all-day bistro where you can settle in with a coffee and get a little work done while your child is in class, or sit down to a proper meal.
Address: 451 Joo Chiat Road #01-04A.

Big Short Coffee
The coffee takes a few risks here, with a seasonal menu and inventive, lab-style drinks. Our favourite little treat.
Address: 2 Fowlie Road #01-01.

Micro Bakery at the Red House

a small French bakery on Joo Chiat Place for croissants, pastries and proper bread. Open Thursday to Sunday only, so time your visit.
