Tessellations in Culture: A Heritage Relief-Printing Workshop (Festival at the Fort 2026)

Every pattern tells a story. At Fort Canning Park, some of those stories are over 700 years old.

In this hands-on workshop, learn the art of relief printing and bring Fort Canning's rich heritage to life through your own hands. Draw inspiration from the park's most iconic motifs — including the enigmatic kala head, drawn from a 14th century archaeological artefact, and the storied 9-pound cannon that stands in the park today.

Using traditional relief-printing techniques, carve, ink and press these timeless designs onto paper, creating a piece that is uniquely yours — and unmistakably Fort Canning.

Suitable for all ages 10 and above. No prior experience needed.
