Air-Dry Clay Class ~ Tanglin Special School


The students of my clay class have seen improvement over the months as they tried out a Korean brand of air-dry clay. These students really like the activity as they come week after week, making object after object. I'm glad they enjoy the hobby.
Some mastered the basics at a faster rate and they are challenged to produce products for sale while the beginners find satisfaction in making something they are happy with in class. All projects will be displayed and i hope they derive a sense of achievement when they see their works being displayed.

Talking about commitment - Whenever i arrive at the school, helpful Jason, a boy not from my clay class but from another class, will greet my at the car porch and help me to bring the things into the classroom. I'm proud of him and his sense of duty. Thank you Jason!

Right now, the teacher-in-charge, Mrs Hong, and myself are preparing for the year end sale, which will see fund-raising being done for the school. Of course, the most important is still the sense of achievement for the 20 over kids. Sometimes, a parent volunteer, Helen, will come and chip in and help out with managing the kids as well.

Singapore Bowl

This is my favourite - The mysterious collection of colours, strong, mysterious, grand, demure, reminds me of Singapore.




Bowl of Sunny Sentosa






















This marble bowl is just so Sentosa - exciting, dazzling, idyllic, sunny, cool - all rolled into one. A favourite of many. Comes with display stand and acrylic case. Email me for price enquiries.

Air-dry Clay Marbled Bowl ~ Green World




This bowl reminds me of the forest of Macritchie Reservoir. The Royal Purple swarth speaks of the Royal British Engineers who first constructed the Reservoir.

Comes with display stand and acrylic case. Email me for price enquiry.

Air-Dry Clay Art



This Korean brand of clay, Jumping Clay, can be used to make, besides the usual cutesy stuff, serious artwork as well. They make for beautiful objects de'art for display or as gifts. They will not be broken if you drop them accidentally and they will not crack or flake over time. See the beautiful swirls or marbled effect on the dish.

Family Vacation ~ Bangkok ~ August 08




My two boys got their first taste of a plane flying to bring them to another destination. Bangkok was selected because of the relatively short travel time. Thank God it was a pleasant experience for them. The hotel, sights, street restaurants, shopping, cafes and hawkers and of course, the Chao Phraya river - made the stay memorable. I have always believed that it's not the number of different locations which you rush to visit which matter but the leisurely time taken to savour the delights which may crop up anytime - that makes the trip a unique one.

The MRT is a breeze there and the food experience was great. Shopping ~ Paragon is an expensive place but of course we went to the bargain places like MBK and Chatuchak. The strong Singapore currency made the purchases worthwhile.

Birthday Parties , Themed Parties, Air-Dry Clay Party!!!


Having a memorable birthday party means coming up with some great birthday party ideas. If you are having a birthday party for your child or anyone who is a child at heart, you will want to plan it to be fun and exciting! Birthday parties are a great excuse to meet friends and family and enjoy a day of laughter and smiles. Having some basic plans for the day, will make in not only go smoothly, but it will allow the planner time to enjoy themselves as well.

How about an Air-Dry Clay party? We provide ALL the materials and clay plus a gift for the birthday boy or girl and a goodie bag for all children on board! Sounds cool? Let me tell you more...It is not messy at all because the clay is not oil-based (unlike some children's toy dough)and it does not require a kiln to fire (no electricity wasted). PlUS it does not require water (no extra water bills). It does not flake after it is dried either so it's neat...the only mess you need to clear are the catering boxes for food and the cake boxes plus some drink spills ;-)
