Chalk N Pencils at New Bahru

Welcome to Chalk N Pencils’ latest creative space, nestled in the vibrant and historic building
New Bahru, located at 46 Kim Yam Road #04-11.

As a haven for artists and art enthusiasts, this new studio brings together a unique blend of old-world charm and modern creativity. Let’s take a closer look at what this new location offers and what makes it a special place for learning and exploring art.

New Bahru is a revitalized area that beautifully merges the past with the present. The development occupies the former Nan Chiau High School building, a site rich with history and architectural charm. This creative cluster is not just a place for shopping and dining; it is a space where art, culture, and community come together. The Lo & Behold Group, alongside Sunray Group Holdings, has transformed this location into a bustling hub for local brands and unique experiences.

With its nostalgic architectural elements, including preserved breezeblock facades and a central lawn for community events, New Bahru is more than a destination—it’s an experience. The area’s eclectic mix of tenants, from artisanal food spots to innovative retail concepts, makes it a perfect setting for Chalk N Pencils’ new studio​.​

Just had an ART-ful birthday party session for my 7 year old's birthday at Chalks and Pencils at New Bahru. They made the enquiry and booking process so seamless and easy. The studio space is large and inviting and Priscilia and her team were really well skilled at handling the 13 children. They were well organised and guided the children patiently and expertly. The children were so happy with their finished artwork and it was also packaged nicely for them to bring it back home. My daughter and her friends had a truly enjoyable art session. Location is excellent, especially as it was a drop off session and the other parents could wait at the many cafes and restaurants in the building. The birthday girl declared it as, the best party ever!

Studio was very bright and inviting, the teachers were so helpful and welcoming - even though my child was probably way below the appropriate painting age, they helped to find ways for him to participate. Thank you!!

There were numerous cafe options for the parents to hang out as well while waiting. There is another outlet in Joo chiat as well.

We recently celebrated our son's birthday at Chalk n Pencils, New Bahru. It was a hot wheels-themed party requested by the birthday boy. All thanks to Priscilia, the founder's creative ideas, as well as her team's mock-up in the preparation stages, the actual day turned up awesome despite some initial hiccups. The kids thoroughly enjoyed themselves and even brought home their handmade and designed craftwork which looked legitly like the real deal!

We absolutely love the art class conducted by Ms Kheng! Ms Kheng is incredibly patient and nurturing, creating a welcoming environment that allows our toddlers to explore their creativity without any pressure. Each class is filled with imaginative art projects that incorporate a fantastic mix of media, which keeps our toddlers engaged and excited to create.What I especially appreciate is how the activities not only foster creativity but also provide a wonderful sensory experience. The projects are designed to help develop their motor skills, making learning fun and interactive. It’s amazing to see their confidence grow as they experiment with different materials.Overall, this art class has been a fantastic experience for our toddlers, and we can't recommend it enough!

Chalk n Pencils' beautiful new space at New Bahru provides a conducive space for art making and is a good place to soothe your soul. Workshops and classes are conducted by artists and one thing you can count on is that Ms Kheng always uses quality materials in her studio.Attended a rubber stamp carving workshop yesterday for Design Week and really enjoyed myself. Strongly recommend anyone who is around the area to pop by and take a look. There's also a corner where you can shop!

A beautifully designed studio on the 4th floor of New Bahru, Chalk n Pencils is a lovely respite from the bustle of Singapore for some quiet and restful artmaking. We attended Priscillia's stamp carving workshop as part of Singapore Design Week and had so much fun. She was patient, approachable, and skilled. Looking forward to more artful experiences at Chalk n Pencils! 🙂

I took a rubber carving class, and it was a fantastic experience! The instructor was patient and knowledgeable, making it easy for beginners to follow along. I loved the hands-on approach, and by the end, I created a detailed design I didn’t think was possible. The class had a fun, relaxed atmosphere, and the small size allowed for personal attention. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to try something new

I recently took my kid to Chalk n Pencils @ New Bahru during our vacation, and we had an amazing experience! The studio is bright and inviting, filled with all kinds of creative supplies. The instructors are incredibly friendly and encouraging, helping the kids explore their creativity in a fun way. My child loved the variety of projects available, from painting to crafting.The atmosphere is relaxed, and it's clear that the staff genuinely care about nurturing the kids' artistic talents. My kid left with huge smiles and their own masterpieces! We’re dropping by during our vacation, and we can’t wait to see if it opens up near our neighborhood!

We had a wonderful experience with Priscilia. Before we even started, she took the time to brainstorm ideas with us, considering the setting of our new home to ensure the painting would be a perfect fit. During the session, she expertly guided me, my husband, and our 3-year-old boy through various techniques to achieve different strokes. It’s definitely not easy to involve a young child in painting, but she managed to engage our son, allowing him to contribute to some areas of the artwork. Her friendly and pleasant demeanor made the whole experience enjoyable, and we're absolutely thrilled with the outcome. We can't wait to display it in our home!

Recently attended a guided live portrait drawing session at Chalk N Pencils, and it was a fantastic experience! The studio's ambiance is both welcoming and inspiring, creating the perfect environment for creativity. The instructor, Ms Priscilia, was incredibly skilled and provided clear, insightful guidance and demos throughout the session, helping me improve my techniques and confidence in drawing with charcoal. If you're looking for a great place to enhance your art skills, I highly recommend Chalk N Pencils. They hold different types of live sessions too like figure drawing as well as still life! It’s an exceptional blend of instruction, artistry, and a supportive community!

Truly Meow-Mazing to do the Gabby dollhouse art jamming party for my girl’s 8th yr bday party with Chalk N Pencils! It was fuss-free during the planning and discussing the event details , easy to communicate and my queries were addressed promptly. On the actual day, the set-up was done bythe team swiftly and thankful for Chalk N Pencils to provide all materials , furniture and pleased to have 3 staff to oversee , teach and guide the 10 kiddoz on their jamming 😃. The kiddoz enjoyed the painting , learning new art skills and have lots of fun during the party. A small twist of event that we weren’t able to have it at the new studio , but all went well we had the party at our place which made the event accessible and convenient to us and our little guests.

Did 10 sessions of adult coaching classes to improve my watercolour painting skills and Pris was really patient with me. She gave a lot of guidance and also helped to correct some mistakes in my pieces. This was very important to me in looking for a good teacher and I learnt a lot. The school also organises ad-hoc outdoor painting and sketching classes which helped me connect with other like-minded people and improve my skills beyond just watercolour. Classes were fun, affordable and flexible. Unfortunately, I’ve to leave the country for work, otherwise, I would’ve continued! Thanks to Pris and the rest of the teachers for an amazing time, I hope to be back soon!

The children have been taking art classes here for half a year and have improved a lot in their painting and coloring skills.We love the small class sizes here. The teachers are patient and possess pure art professional skills and experience. There is no need to worry about children being crammed and losing the collaboration and originality of artistic creation.In the child's works, I saw a lot of her own creative concepts and ideas, and the use of art materials is also quite diversified. I can see the hard work of the teacher team! My children look forward to going to art class every week😊Recommended for parents who want their children to immerse themselves in art creation!

Alexa loves going for art class at Chalk n Pencils every week. She looks forward to learning different techniques for the various art pieces and is always proud to show me her results. The teachers are very patient with her as she tends to overthink and become slower in the creation process. The older sister also enjoys the various workshops/camps during the holidays and looks forward to them year on year!
