Meet Me DIY Workshop

Located inside Komtar JBCC in Bandar Johor Bahru, Meet Me DIY Workshop is an arts and crafts haven open daily from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM. It is a spacious, clean, and highly comfortable spot for Singaporeans looking to escape the midday heat and dive into hands-on experiential activities. The studio caters heavily to both couples looking for cute date ideas and parents needing engaging, guided activities for young kids.

The menu of workshops is extensive. Tufting and candle making are the clear crowd favorites, heavily corroborated by both locals and visitors. Beyond the heavy hitters, the studio offers cream glue crafts, beading, Bearbrick pouring, and glass painting. A major steal is the Picasso Cake Workshop priced at a highly affordable RM38 per pax (roughly SGD 11). This session lets participants go wild decorating a cake using provided cream, pretzels, sugar beads, and tools.

Service here leans heavily on personal guidance. Instructors—with specific shoutouts to staff like Shal—are repeatedly praised for their immense patience with young children and their willingness to accommodate late walk-in bookings. They actively guide participants step-by-step, ensuring even total beginners walk away with a respectable piece of art.

However, there are a few logistical caveats to keep in mind. The studio can occasionally run short-staffed, meaning service might slow down when the floor is packed. Additionally, if you are tackling a tufting project, be prepared for their collection policy. Due to high order volumes, you typically need to return a few days later to collect your finished rug. If you are a tourist heading back to Singapore, you will need to explicitly request to complete the piece yourself during the session so you can bring it home immediately.
