The Amazing Art Shuttle - June 2010 Art Workshops

Hi all, I've been very insanely busy again these few months. Will reveal what I'm busy working on in a few weeks time : ) In the meantime here's introducing a very awesome and creative art and craft centre for kids in Singapore: The Amazing Art Shuttle, founded by my friend Lena Lok. Here's her philosophy on teaching kids:

There is no "right" or "wrong" in Art. Art is a process, not a product and with the right guidance, children will come to realize that Art can be so much more than just drawing and painting.

Yes, how very true indeed : ) Do check out the The Amazing Art Shuttle's Facebook Page to view the latest news and updates. To all the parents in Singapore, you've got to let your kids try out at this amazing place! There are other branches besides the Dhoby Ghaut one, so please do check out for more here.



And as for the month of June, I've been invited to guest teach at the Dhoby Ghaut branch in Singapore. Oh yes! Starting from 7th June, I will be conducting 3 art workshops at The Amazing Art Shuttle (Dhoby Ghaut branch), and will cover fun and interesting lessons ranging from painting and drawing to clay moulding and painting, and of course, eco craft creations : ) Here are the posters and details for the June Holidays Art Workshops:

Customized Sneaker: Nike SB Dunk Low

Customizing sneakers is great fun! I'm referring to the part where you get to paint it. Everything before that is HARD WORK. My fingers almost came off! Thanks to my little cousin Hui En for helping to rub off the white waxy coat! Thank goodness her fingers are still intact : ) This pair of Nike SB Dunk Low was done for Hui En. I decided to give her sneaker a soft and sweet, earthy concept with just a little details that is not too complicated. I hope she likes it : )









Here's the two part tutorial on how to customize your kicks:

Invitation to HP Mini by Studio Tord Boontje Event @ Bar 84

Hi all! : ) I was very fortunate to have been invited to an exclusive event held at Gallery Hotel's cozy Bar 84 in Singapore for HP Mini, designed by the very awesome Tord Boontje himself. His works are mostly nature-inspired, rich in color and intricate details that are all very reflective in his designs for the HP Mini. Plus, the whole package is based on an environment-friendly concept! Ranging from product to installations to collaborations with Alexander McQueen, here are some of Tord Boontje's awe-inspiring works of art and design:









Aren't they amazing? I simply adore his works! Here's me (far right) with blogger Lay Hiang (second from left) and Tord Boontje! : )




You can view Lay Hiang's post on the event here. And the following photos here are some lovely shots taken by Joe Teh from TechieLobang - News, Tips & Tricks for that evening. Thanks Joe! Check out his cool blog and his post on the event : )




The gorgeous, intricate design on the HP Mini features the world’s first 3D PC Surface Technology – HP Imprint 3D that adds many layers and depth to the central design elements to give a very cool floating effect.









Here's a peak at some of the details on the exclusive umbrella that everyone got to take home with:



Grab it now if you're looking for something this pretty! : )


"Modernism does not mean minimalism, that contemporary does not foresake tradition and that technology does not abandon people and senses. The [Tord Boontje] Studio's designs often temper edges with softness, borrow inspiration from nature, and employ a decor of forms and layers to engage and entice an observer's imagination and emotions."

Toodles! : )
