Spinning Lab
Skip the usual cafe hopping and get messy at Spinning Lab in Mount Austin. This pendulum art studio is a massive hit for families, friend groups, and team bonding. Expect zero gatekeeping—friendly instructors guide you through the chaotic, colorful process regardless of your artistic background. It’s highly engaging and beginner-friendly, but remember you’ll need to come back a few days later to pick up your dried masterpiece.
The Insider Review
Mount Austin isn't just bubble tea and hotpot. Spinning Lab brings interactive pendulum art to Jalan Austin Heights. It's a high-energy, hands-on workshop tailored for families, friend groups, and corporate team bonding. No prior art experience is required. The instructors are consistently praised for being exceptionally friendly and offering quick, clear instructions to get you splashing paint onto the canvas immediately.
The actual process takes around 1.5 hours to complete an A3 artwork. You literally swing paint over a spinning canvas to create geometric, chaotic designs. It is incredibly child-friendly, allowing kids to go completely wild with their creativity. Take the advice of local parents: wear old, unwanted clothes because the process gets notoriously messy. The focus here is entirely on the fun of the physical process rather than achieving a museum-quality outcome.
Plan your JB itinerary around their slightly unusual operating hours. They open from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM, take a dinner break, and reopen for a quick 8:00 PM to 9:00 PM evening slot from Thursday to Tuesday (they are strictly closed on Wednesdays). Crucially, you cannot take your canvas home immediately. Heavy paint pours require serious curing time. Expect to leave your artwork at the studio for up to 5 days to dry completely before returning for pickup.
