Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

Singapore's craft shops split into two very different trips: the studio where someone teaches you to crochet a xiao long bao, and the supply store where you just need the right brush. Between the craft shops on this page, shoppers have left over 4,200 Google reviews, and every one of them rates at least 4.5, so the real decision is which kind of craft shop you actually need.

Short answer: The top-rated craft shop in Singapore is Craftsforgreen Workshops (5.0 stars across 930 reviews), a terrarium and workshop studio, followed closely by Art at Hearts (4.9, crochet classes) and Curbside Crafters (4.8, a handmade-goods market). If you just need supplies rather than a class, Art Friend is the biggest stockist here with 1,477 reviews.

Our take: The highest-rated craft shop on this list, and the reviews back it up: patient teaching, a calm setting, and a finished piece to take home. Book ahead since it's appointment-only.

What people praise

  • Widest selection of any craft shop here: paint, brushes, papers, specialty tools
  • Membership pricing regulars call reasonable
  • Staff described as knowledgeable and quick with recommendations
  • Central Orchard Road location

Curbside Crafters

4.8486 Google reviews

Curbside Crafters is a North Bridge Road indoor market of small booths selling handmade jewellery, plushies, crystals, and craft goods, alongside food vendors and the occasional pop-up workshop.

  • Wide variety of independent, handmade goods in one stop
  • Vendors and staff described as friendly and approachable
  • Workshops run by individual booth owners get singled out as thoughtful
  • Seating available for breaks between browsing

How we score

Every number on this page comes from public Google data on the date shown, not opinion or payment. Rating is the shop’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated them, ranked against other Singapore craft shops. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 5.0 built on hundreds of reviews carries more weight than one built on a handful. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much do craft workshops cost in Singapore? (2026)

Pricing varies a lot by craft type and session length, and none of the shops on this page publish a single fixed rate for every class. Expect a small-group terrarium or crochet workshop to run in the ballpark of the low-to-mid double digits per person for a few hours, with private or corporate bookings priced separately. Ask each shop directly for its current rate card and any material fees before booking.

Serving all of Singapore

The craft shops above are spread across the island, from Yishun and Kong Beng industrial estates to Orchard Road and North Bridge Road in the city centre. Searching for a craft shop near me? Every listing below shows a live phone number and address so you can find the closest option fast.

What to ask before you book a craft workshop

  • Is the session private, small-group, or a larger class?
  • What materials are included, and can I take my finished piece home?
  • Is the studio appointment-only, and how far ahead should I book?
  • Is there a beginner-friendly option if I’ve never tried this craft?
  • Do you accept card payment, or is it cash only?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these craft shops?

We started from craft shops in Singapore with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency, and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position on the underlying data.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (July 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

Do I need to book a craft workshop in advance?

Most of the workshop-style shops here, including Craftsforgreen and Art at Hearts, run by appointment, so booking a few days ahead is a safe bet. Retail-only stops like Art Friend and Overjoyed don’t require booking.

Which craft shop is best for kids?

Several on this list, including Craftsforgreen and Art at Hearts, run dedicated kids’ workshops. Confirm the minimum age and group size when you call.

The bottom line

For a guided project you’ll actually finish, Craftsforgreen and Art at Hearts are the two safest bets on ratings and teaching feedback. If you just need supplies for a project you already know how to do, Art Friend has the deepest stock on this list.
