Singapore’s traditional crafts, once the heartbeat of its streets, were carried here by migrants and shaped the nation’s identity. Today, many of these 28 documented trades are fading, their stories at risk of being forgotten. This book transforms loss into experience: its embossed pages conceal what time has erased, while a pastel chalk invites readers to uncover these disappearing crafts by hand. It is both archive and act of preservation, urging us to see, feel, and safeguard a fragile cultural legacy before it slips away forever.
