About the Artist:
Hoi Seong’s first touch of clay happened during his 3-Dimensional Design Course in 1976 at Baharuddin Vocational Institution where he graduated in 1978. His addiction to clay did not, however, begin until he started to conduct pottery classes and formed the pottery studio in Outram Park Community Centre in 1989.

In his early days, his work consisted of very fundamental designs such as vases and slab work. He changed his work towards the themes of teapots, and natural forms when their pottery studio moved to the Tanjong Pagar Community Club. He has also experimented with local clays for his unglazed works, which was inspired by ancient pottery. He loves to go around construction sites to collect local clay when there are excavations taking place.

He started learning about wood and salt firing at the Dragon Kiln at Jalan Bahar Clay Studios. He hopes to build a small wood fire kiln with his group members in the near future.
