Miniature clay art at Junior College

Clay Breakfast Sandwiches Pin Badge Workshop!

What a fantastic time we had with our junior college students during last week’s Clay Pin Badge Workshop! We made Breakfast sandwiches entirely from clay and transformed into wearable pins! 

Our students unleashed their creativity, crafting their versions of classic breakfast foods—from eggs and bacon to bagels—all with air-dry waterproof polymer clay. Each creation turned into a one-of-a-kind pin badge that was as fun as it was artistic!

During the session, participants learned:

How to mold clay into intricate shapes
Attaching pin backs to their pieces
Painting and adding fine details to bring their mini meals to life
It was an enjoyable and relaxing experience, and the finished products looked good enough to eat! We’re thrilled to see such fantastic results and are proud of the creativity everyone brought to the table.

We can’t wait for more creative workshops like this! Stay tuned!

Post Examination Programs- Primary 6 Doodling on Coffee Mugs Workshop

Creative Expression Unleashed: Primary 6 Coffee Mug Doodling Workshop

At Fun With Artz, we're passionate about fostering creativity. Our recent doodling workshop for Primary 6 students provided a fresh and fun way to express themselves—this time on coffee mugs! The session turned ordinary mugs into personalised art pieces, sparking imagination and creativity in every participant.

Why Doodle on Coffee Mugs?

Personalising everyday objects, like coffee mugs, adds a special touch to items that people use daily. For our Primary 6 students, it was an exciting challenge to turn a blank mug into a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. The workshop allowed them to experiment with doodling techniques, transforming simple sketches and patterns into functional art that they can take home.

The Workshop in Action

During the two-hour session, students had the chance to explore their artistic styles through doodling. With permanent markers and specialised pens in hand, they learned how to create imaginative designs on their mugs, plan from simple line drawings to colourful patterns and creative characters. The atmosphere was filled with creativity, as each student put their unique spin on their designs—whether it was playful characters, geometric shapes, or abstract artwork.

We emphasized the importance of planning, drawing and enjoying the process rather than aiming for perfection. It’s all about free-flowing creativity and having fun, which made the workshop engaging for all skill levels. By the end, every student had their own unique mug to take home—a tangible piece of their creativity.

Benefits of Creative Workshops for Kids

Art-based activities like doodling offer more than just fun. For children, they provide a way to practice fine motor skills, enhance focus, and nurture creativity. Encouraging them to engage in artistic expression also helps boost their confidence, especially when they see the final results of their efforts. Our workshop was designed not only to teach new skills but also to promote self-expression in a stress-free, supportive environment.

Why Choose Fun With Artz?

At Fun With Artz, we believe that art is for everyone. Our workshops are thoughtfully designed to make creativity accessible to all ages and skill levels. Whether it's doodling, painting, or clay crafting, we strive to create an environment where students can explore their artistic talents while having a great time. Our hands-on approach ensures that each participant leaves with newfound skills and a memorable experience.

What’s Next at Fun With Artz?

This mug doodling workshop was a resounding success, and we’re already looking forward to our next creative adventure. From miniature clay food workshops to beginner painting classes, there’s always something exciting happening at Fun With Artz. Whether you're a parent, teacher, or someone looking for fun art activities, stay connected with us for upcoming workshops and events.

狮城有约 | 新视角 新发现:微缩模型重现今昔狮城风貌

 

新加坡食品象征了新加坡的文化,代表我们的身份。 我们可以更好地了解我们日常生活中熟悉的食物。

对我来最大的挑战是每一个新作品,我需要重新设计构思食物的颜色自己搭配。


目前已经制作了有超过20多种本地美食。


选择大众比较熟知的美食是因为这是新加坡的文化,让本地和海外的朋友都会回想联想起。这是新加坡的美食。让认识何热爱新加坡美食的朋友们看了都想吃,想拥有。 


这些食物大多都在小贩中心可以看到,小贩美食是新加坡的一种特色. 我觉得鱼圆面,是新加坡特色。就跟马来西亚的做法不一样。特别具有新加坡特色。还有杂菜饭,因为杂菜饭比较接近家常便饭,也比较健康,就可以选择自己喜爱的蔬菜或肉类。你可以选择清蒸鱼或煎炸。我本身会比较注重健康,所以我比我会选择多蔬菜,还有清蒸鸡蛋。本地美食代表了新加坡的文化,我们有各种种族,每一个种族都会有自己的家乡美食。

近年来本地人就比较想,支持,本地艺术家,都会经常订做本地所制作的作品。


多年来,我都有很多海外的顾客都会在网站上面和我联系订购制作新加坡的美食,有鱼圆面,卤面,印度煎饼, 辣沙面等等。 把它们制作做成耳弯和戒指带去聚会。她们都说朋友带了出门朋友都很赞美首饰很新加坡风味,很想念新加坡的美食。赞👍!

Polymer Clay

During this Circuit breaker period makes you look for a new skill, probably you want to get your hands on some craft that is easy to pick up without any prior experience. You can still purchase Clay online. There is different types of polymer clay that can be used for crafting. If you just want to pick up a new hobby that requires not much of investment . Consider air dry clay and after getting used to the materials and you wish to experiment on different types of Clay, its always not too late to venture more.

Modena 250grams Translucent Clay

There are definitely a lot of video tutorials out there on how to use clay to sculpt what you like.
Most of my works are miniature food and Clay animals. I have made some clay dolls too. I prefer books more as it explains details and its just easier to refer and improvise from. I draw my inspirations every source I can find through google and also lots of pdf tutorials I pin on my pinterest board I can share.
I started collecting  Japanese Craft Book written by Japanese Crafters and Teachers, some of my favourite artists are Mayu Sakiguchi Nunu's House (handmade miniature1/12) produced by Tomo Tanaka ミニチュア. Now some of the Japanese Craft books have been translated to Chinese prints and its easier for me to read the names of the colors and materials. Their books have clear photographs basically you do not need to be able to read Japanese to understand their techniques.

DIY Bubble Tea Making During Covid19-Circuit B period

Homemade Bubble Tea


By the time she reached the bubble tea shops after work everything already closed.


On the day when Bubble Tea needed to be closed many people ran down to get their last grab, and my sister was one of them. She was not so lucky enough to get any though., that made my girl wanted to make a cup for her. She googled for some recipes and ran down to get Tapioca starch and the necessary ingredients.


This is what we use.

Bubble tea
INGREDIENTS for pearls
180ml water
90g black sugar
295g tapioca starch, 

INGREDIENTS for Milk Tea
375ml of water
5 tea bags (15g)
3 Tbs black sugar syrup
200g tapioca pearls in black sugar syrup
450ml low-fat milk
12 cubes of ice

Cooking pot 
Sieve
Bowl
Cup & Straw

Few days later ST made a full video on How to the Make the Bubble Tea as well and viola of course all Tapioca Starch is sold out everywhere. Thankfully, we grab ours fast, and also we just need to make that once.


Homemade Organic non fattening Bubble Milk Tea. Although its non fattening, I control the amount of caffeine intake per day. Max is One coffee in the morning One Tea in the afternoon before 4pm.

We added Organic Raw Coco Powder, thus we skipped the artificial colorings. We wanted a non fattening Bubble Milk Tea for our family. During this circuit breaker period, we had full access to our kitchen, we really need to be very careful with what we add into our homemade food.

Boiling the hand rolled tapioca pearls
Tapioca Pearls are fully Cooked now we soaked in cooled filtered water so that they wont stick together in lumps.

Last step is to boil hot water add 3 tea bags into the boiled water and wait for the tea to cool a little to about 75 degrees celsius and add our non fattening organic milk. There is quite a variety to choose from Cold Storage.

Miniature food workshop- Bakuteh

A Chinese soup commonly found on the streets of Singapore. Bak Kut Teh肉骨茶 is a dish which all Singaporeans loves. This can be commonly found at Kopitiam and coffee shop. Literally translated as “meat bone tea”, Bah Kut Teh consists of meaty pork ribs simmered in a complex broth of herbs and spices. ... In Singapore, there are two styles of Bak kut teh served. While Teochew version features clear soup with peppery taste, Klang version has thick, cloudy soup with herbal taste. In our lion city, clear soup is more popular than the  herbal soup. This set of work is made using oven-baked clay, as the texture of the pork rib took me 1 least an hour to draw out and piecing them together. Even the bones need to pre baked first before I sculpt on the meat.
