Can I extend my painting session?

Unguided Art Jam Yes, you can. There is a charge of $10 for any additional hour. If you are looking to extend on the day itself, do provide us ample notice as there may be other bookings after your session. Extensions are not available for timings beyond 5.30pm. Our studio closes at 5.30pm and we need time to clean up, disinfect and prep for a brand new day! Liberty Art Jam Extensions are unavailable as we may have other art jamming sessions or workshops after that. We respect our instructors' personal time- all sessions will need to end on time.

What if I am unable to finish my painting in one sitting? If I come back another time to finish it up, must I pay for another session?

We want each art jammer to take their time to create a piece they truly love and can take home, so you’re more than welcome to finish up in another sitting (subject to our storeroom space; it's extremely limited). If you're staying for a second session or returning to complete your artwork, the rate of S$38/pax for the subsequent session(s) still applies. The money that we receive from our Liberty Art Jam sessions helps us to pay our rent + utilities, purchase materials and engage our instructors to keep Liberty Art Jam running ☺ Alternatively, you can opt for the Unguided Art Jam sessions ($25/pax) to complete your painting, depending on your preference. Scenario 1 (Liberty Art Jam) If Sam booked two sessions on Sunday to paint, the rate is $76/pax. Scenario 2 (Liberty Art Jam) If Sam booked a session on Friday night, the rate is $38/pax. If Sam booked another session on Saturday to finish his artwork, the rate for that session is still $38/pax.

Can I request for an extra canvas?

Sure, if you are a fast worker why not? Do note that an extra canvas will be an additional charge of $8.00 per canvas (40cm x 50cm). ​ Check out our Mellow Mama Shop in our studio on the day itself if you're looking for other sizes.

What if I want to upsize or downsize my canvas?

Sure, you can upsize or downsize! If you would like to downsize your canvas, there will be no reduction of fees. If you would like to upsize your canvas, top up charges apply. Smaller canvas ≠ cheaper art jam session price Bring your own canvas ≠ cheaper art jam session price

Do I need to bring my own materials?

Nope! All art materials are provided so don't worry about anything! Just bring an open heart and open mind. Materials provided:

• 1 x Canvas (40cm x 50cm)
• Acrylic paints, palettes
• Paint brushes, palette knives, sponges
• Aprons
• Cloths (to dry painting tools)

Can I bring my own materials?

Sure, you can! However, do note that no oil paints are allowed due to the paint odour and no watercolour as we are painting on a canvas placed on the easel. Other mediums are welcome! ☺ Bring your own art materials ≠ cheaper art jam session price

What if I have no art experience?

We embrace the presence of each art jammer and try to ensure that nobody will be lost in the process. We assure you not to worry if you do not have prior art experience. Tips will be given to kick-start your creative flow. We've had hundreds of beginners come for Liberty Art Jam so don't worry! Just come and have fun ☺
