ANZA Art Workshop

ANZA members reinventing Peranakan culture! Wonderful to have a full house of creative ladies from the Australia & New Zealand Association at a recent Peranakan Printing Express Workshop. Great to see how people tackled the design challenges of this decorative display mat. I'm happy to see how well the new border tiles worked out in these prints. Many thanks to ANZA for organising this most enjoyable session!

Parent Child Art Bonding Workshop

Children make great art teachers! I love seeing the boldness and creativity that they naturally seem to have. When it comes to deciding on colour and patterns, children seem to rely on their gut feeling and appear a lot less inhibited than adult learners. I also love seeing parents working together with their kids to create something that captures a beautiful moment in time. There’s a lot to be learnt on many levels from these petite participants!

Peranakan Printmaking - New Projects

I'm excited about a new project for my workshops - to create handprinted cotton scarves. Both sides are printed so the scarf will be reversible. Great for those chilly moments inside and hot ones out! If you like the look of this - drop me a line and I'll keep you updated for the next class! 

Peranakan Printing & Japanese Alumni Friends

What happens when you get a group of Japanese alumni friends and neighbours together in Singapore? Lots of fun and laughter, and some beautiful Peranakan inspired prints!

I really enjoyed creating my very own design. The workshop was lots of fun!

Working out how to create my own design and colour combination was enjoyable. I found the workshop was not too easy or difficult - a great fit. Thanks very much!

Peranakan Art Corporate Team Bonding Workshops

Great to see a corporate design team getting creative at one of Singapore's oldest Hokkien temples! Yummy Kueh sweets and local coffee powered our enjoyable carving and printing session. Surrounded by Peranakan floor tiles and the nearby Peranakan Tile Gallery, there was lots of inspiration! 

Learn how a creative workshop can benefit your team!

It was a relaxing environment to get to know colleagues outside of work context. I had a fun time with them :)

We had tons of fun, and it was interesting to see one another’s masterpieces in process. I enjoyed myself very much.

The Next Generation - LASALLE College of the Arts

Love teaching the next generation! I recently enjoyed teaching Fashion Diploma students at LASALLE College of the Arts in Singapore. Seems like just yesterday when I was printmaking student at university! It's great to see students from Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, China and Singapore learning together.

It was really interesting to see what kind of motifs the students came up with. Some also used my Peranakan tile inspired rubber blocks along with their own blocks, and the results were amazing. I hope the overseas students learn all they can about the various cultural influences behind modern day Singapore while they are here. I look forward to seeing the fashion lines that they produce in the near future! 

Chinese New Year Printing

I always enjoy running my Chinese New Year printing workshops in January. Students recently enjoyed a special series of seasonally inspired printing sessions to make decorative table runners. Students used a library of Peranakan tile designs, Chinese auspicious flowers and Chinese written characters to create gorgeous personalised designs.  Gong Xi Fa Cai!

Peranakan Printing Takes Over Toa Payoh Library!

I was invited to teach linocut printing to senior members of the community last month as part of Silver Arts Festival 2016. It was a privilege to be with different member of the community and watch as they got the hang of transferring their designs, carving and printing. Many were first-timers to taking an art class, and we had a really enjoyable afternoon together.

Printing on a High - National Gallery Rooftop Studio Workshop

Teaching art in Singapore was a particularly amazing experience recently during my linocut workshop at National Gallery Singapore. The gallery's rooftop studio was the scene of much carving, printing and laughter as students learnt basic linocut printing. I was delighted to be invited to create a series of images inspired by architecture features of the two national monuments that form Singapore's largest art museum. Students created an amazing variety of prints and I love how many shared blocks and inks - spontaneous artistic collaboration!
