Happy Hour Club is a café and space in Ara Damansara offering cute workshops to let you get creative
They have a café serving food and drinks, alongside workshops called 'DIY Experiences' that focus on activities like pottery or ceramic painting, tufting, and silver clay making.
Designed to provide guests with their own creative space free from limitations, their workshops do not feature instructors or structured classes. However, there are community managers available around the workshop if you need help with anything.
The café offers croffles and a variety of drinks; some of the sessions also come with a complimentary beverage.
Their tufting workshops allow you to craft multiple sizes, ranging from mini frames to sizes XS, S, M, and L frames
If you're new to tufting, they recommend going for the mini, XS, and S size frames, but if you've done it before or are feeling adventurous, you can choose their M or L size frames.
According to Happy Hour Club, they use a weightless tufting system, so you won't have to worry about having sore arms after the session. :P
Each session includes professional backing finishing and edge binding for free. You may collect your artwork within three weeks.
Alternatively, you can finish the backing on the spot, so you can bring it home on the same day.
For their pottery painting sessions, there's a wall of ready-to-paint items to choose from, so you can make it as personalised as you'd like
All tools and materials will be provided. This includes unlimited underglazes, pencils, brushes, tape, and the necessary stationery. The workshop also includes firing and handling services.
According to the description, the underglazes provided are non-toxic and lead free, making them suitable for both adult and kids to use.
Once you're done painting, your item/s will be fired in their kiln and the final product is food safe, as well as microwave and dishwasher safe.
The silver clay workshop allows you to create your own pendant, ring, or miniature with precious metal silver clay
Each session includes:
– 1x 5g silver clay
– 3x heat resistant cubic zirconia stone
– All tools and materials
– 1x complimentary drink from their café menu
The community manager will explain the step-by-step process of working with silver clay before you begin. Additionally, you will be provided with a mobile-friendly tutorial, allowing you to go at your own pace throughout the session.
Once you have finished shaping your silver clay, a community manager will fire the item, have it polished, and your artwork will be ready for collection within a week.
The finished product is made of 99.9% silver, enabling you to wear it during exercise, showering, or swimming without it tarnishing.
Similar to their pottery painting, the ceramic painting session lets you pick an item to paint and includes a complimentary drink
Colour fixing and heating services are included. A community manager will assist with the enamel and finishing process, and once that's done, you can take your item home on the same day.
Your item will be microwave and dishwasher safe.
