5 Art And Craft Activities To Try If You’re Looking For Date Ideas With Your Partner

Now that we’ve finally entered Phase 2, a lot of us are able to meet our other halves after some respite from the Circuit Breaker. You’ve probably been spending most of your time on your phone talking to him/her on FaceTime or on Zoom, and even replacing date nights with your beau on Netflix Party. But this still begs the question: What’s there to do now that more businesses are open in Phase 2?

With date night ideas thrown into question, finding activities for you and your boo to do and spend quality time with can be a little tough. If both of you find yourselves stuck in a dilemma of finding unique and fun date ideas, continue reading.

1. POTTERY

Art and craft activities are not just for kids anymore. In fact, pottery classes have been a popular pick amongst couples in Singapore. Not only do you get to learn the art of making your own pottery, you also get to exercise some patience and time with your partner while making it. Sure does sound a bit like couple’s therapy, don’t you think?

Here at School of Clay Arts, you get to express your own creativity with a hands-on experience workshop that focuses on making pottery with the pinch pot technique and basic coiling. It’s perfect for those who may not have any experience with working with ceramics — so you don’t have to worry even if you’re a newbie!

School of Clay Arts — 1 Hour Pinchpottery Workshop for 2 Pax, $68. Book your slot at SCHOOLOFCLAYARTS.COM.

2. SPLAT PAINT

In moments where we find our partner trying our patience, it may be difficult to vent our frustrations. For an activity that allows both of you to get rid of all that pent up anger, consider splatting paint at Splat Paint House. A space dedicated for you to create your own mess, express and play, this art jamming place allows you to let loose and play with colours to your heart’s desire.

Starter package, $39. Book your slot at SPLATPAINTHOUSE.COM.

3. RING MAKING

A pair of “promise rings”, or “couple rings”, symbolise love and commitment to the relationship. And though you can easily get one from stores like Couple Lab, there is now a workshop that allows you to make your own personalised rings, for both you and your partner.
