To
start off your relationship with clay, you'll first be introduced
to basic techniques of pinching, coiling, hollowing and slab building.
You'll have lots of fun fiddling around with that little lump of
clay. But when it finally emerges into a form of your desire (or
close to), you'll experience a proudest moment of creation with
a very personal artistic touch of yours.
This
is when you deepen your love affair with clay through more advanced
and a wider spectrum of hand-building techniques. You'll learn how
to shape the clay more intimately with your magical tounch. You'll
also play with different clay bodies such as stoneware, raku, terra
cotta and paperclay and sense eac of their characteristic feel.

Here's
when you get a lot more serious with clay and learn the throwing
technique. Throwing on a turning wheel and seeing a lump of clay
rising up like a suave dancer is sensual and therapeutic. This is
when you learn how to express your heart through the control of
your hands to breathe life into clay. The end result is a creative
expression of your desire into a pottery art piece that is unique
to this entire world. What a dance!
This is a unique experiential program for anyone who is keen to create your very own clay artwork. You come to us with your imaginations and your good self; we support you with step-by-step expertise guidance and provide you with all the materials, tools and facilities to help you create your dreams with your own hands. Your project may be anything from creating clay clocks for every room in your home, a gigantic hanging wind chime, garden decorations, standing statement of arts by your door and endless other possibilities.
The children are provided with pre-molded hollow rocks that are made of paperclay. They will be facilitated to imagine how each rock can be viewed creatively as a human head, an elephant, a fish, a dinosaur, a TV, a shoe, etc… and how numerous rocks can be combined to form a s Ninja Turtle, a landscape, etc… When their imaginations are fired up, they will be guided in the process of hands-on creation with paperclay. 
As opposed to rocks, the children are provided with pre-molded, blank paperclay tiles. Unlike most tile art programs, we do a lot more than mere painting on the tiles. As our tiles are made of paperclay, the children are able to ‘build’ on the tiles with bits of paperclay to create 3D protrusions for designs and words. Numerous tiles can even be assembled to form an integrated project at a grander scale. The children can create projects as varied as bedroom signs, birthday tiles (instead of cards), picture frames, personalized festive gifts (such as Christmas) and a thousand other ideas!
To
spark off an interest in kids, it's critical to make the learning
journey fun and be filled with interesting variety. So this program
mixes clay with painting. Kids will explore different ways to express
their creativity and fantasies through building and moulding with
clay, and then painting on dashes of color.
For
those kids who get fired up about pottery after Clay Play I, they
may proceed to Clay Play II when they will study clay hand-building
techniques in a more structured way. Paperclay will be used as it
provides an amazing range of creative possibilities. This is when
the talents in kids get unleashed and parents get pleasant surprises.
This program is designed to provide a creative project to be worked on by a family team for recreation and quality bonding. The team could be as small as an adult-child pair (e.g. father and daughter) or an entire family of three generations! Depending on the project selection, we may use the rocks, the tiles or a combination of them, or none of them. The key idea is to (a) present a focus (e.g. to create all the spoons, big and small, needed for use at home) to the team, (b) facilitate them in discussing, planning and deciding how they wish to manifest the focus into physical reality, and (c) guide them in the hands-on creative process using paperclay. Often, the outcome itself is a fantastic experiential high for all in the family. In addition, if the creation were something that the family would use regularly (e.g. the set of spoons), the good feeling of togetherness would live on for a long time to come in the family.
We play with paperclay in a manner that you absolutely don’t need to have prior pottery skills or any art experience. As such, we have designed this Clay MUGS as an innovative program for team building. Participants will be guided by to create team-based thematic mugs or individual mugs with paperclay. The extent of creative possibilities and imagination through teamwork often amazes the participants themselves. We encourage the participants to use or display their mugs back at the workplace to anchor the team building experience for a long time to come.
We play with paperclay in a manner that you absolutely don’t need to have prior pottery skills or any art experience. As such, we have designed this Clay LEGO as an innovative program for team building. Participants are provided with a wide array of pre-created paperclay bits in the form of rod, ring, slab, needle, little brick, etc. They will work as individuals as well as from small teams and gradually combining the works into one whole team to ‘lego’ the bits and pieces together in a most creative manner. They will be guided on the basic clay techniques in the creative process. The resulting ‘masterpiece’ usually would amaze the participants who usually thought they were non-artistic. Some ‘masterpieces’ are outrageously imaginative, others are incredibly abstract, but all are magical expressions by the team nevertheless, as the work represents the collective spirit and creativity of the team as a whole. We encourage the team display their creation at the workplace to anchor the team building experience for a long time to come.
