Frequently asked questions

A: Our Explorer & Enthusiast Programs are a weekly 1.5 hour visual & tactile art journey.

Explorer: Ages 5 - 9
Enthusiasts: Ages 10 - 18

The program incorporates elements of creative expression through drawing, painting, sculpting and mixed media. The program comprises of termly themes or topics, which are curated with creative processes in mind.

Each explorer and enthusiast is encouraged to “get their hands dirty” in first understanding the theme and objectives. This may take the form of open-ended discussion, role-play or even play-based activities to stimulate their curiousity and pave the way for experiential learning. Over the subsequent 3 lessons, they will dive deeper into various processes or art techniques to refine their understanding and appreciation of the theme or topic they are exposed to in the production of a final art form, before closing with a reflection note.

Through the process, frustration and imperfect pieces can be expected, as much as wide-eye amazement, wild laughter and a grateful sense of completion.

Classes are delivered in either English / Chinese (Mandarin) by our Play Guide, which you may select based on the available schedule. Please select the class timing that suits your schedule best as we do not encourage regular switching between classes.

Our class size is kept cozy to keep interaction levels high!

A: Yes we do!

Our Trial class is conducted over 2 sessions to provide a full experience for your child. Each session runs for 1.5 hours - the same duration as a regular class session.

Trial sessions should be attended in 2 consecutive weeks, with the first trial session arranged on the odd weeks of term.

For example, Trial Session 1 on Week 1 of Term 3 and Trial Session 2 on Week 2 of Term 3.

All materials will be provided for in the trial session, so you may just pack along a water bottle! We suggest coming in comfortable clothing that you don’t mind getting artistic in.

You may sign up for our trial class directly via our trial booking form (click here) or contact us via WhatsApp.

A: At Well Played, we focus on creating experiences through art and allowing our explorers to really savour and trust the process of doing. This is not to say that we encourage procrastination and incomplete artworks, but rather, allowing each explorer sufficient time and mindfulness to fully explore and understand the "how's" and "why's" to create a deep connection with their activity on hand.

As such, you should expect that your child may not complete an artwork in every session. Through his/her hands-on experiences, your child will be able to build on his/her learnings, thoughts and feelings.

Each class term runs for 2 months (8 weeks) to accommodate our monthly themes and activities. At the end of term, you will receive an Mini Curriculum Magazine Overview《艺起玩》小杂志｜课程总览 - handout that allows an introspective view of the art activities that have been carried out during the term.

Pro tip: We highly encourage using the handout to engage your child in sharing his/her thoughts and feelings about he/she has learnt and completed. You may be pleasantly surprised!

A: Our class term runs for 2 months and explorers are required to commit to a minimum of 1 term. New explorers may join us mid-term and subsequent commitment will be on a full-term basis.

A: Yes of course! As we run thematic experiences, the replacement class should be arranged for an alternative time-slot within the same week for the best experience. However, we understand that managing kids’ schedules can be difficult!

You may also opt to arrange for the replacement class within the month, or collect a take-home experience kit (with basic instructions) in lieu of the class.

To earn a make-up class credit, please provide a minimum of 24 hours of notice prior to class or medical certificate. Do note that the make-up class credit is valid for the term.

A: Unless stated for the activity (e.g. parent-child workshops / art jam), our classes are on a drop-off basis to allow independent growth and learning.

Should your child have any special needs or requires special arrangements, do contact us prior to booking of any classes to ensure suitability of the activity.
