September holidays for the children
The September holidays for the children are not far away! At Clay Cove, we always have a different and interesting curriculum for the children to create their special pottery masterpieces!
This September, we’ll teach the children to create and paint 2 penguins on a frozen lake. As they create their penguins, they can think up of an interesting story and transport themselves into their imaginary storyland! Many of our students use their personally-created figurines as props for their show-and-tell sessions in school. This September will be no difference as they enjoy this tactile activity!
Apart from September school holiday courses, we also run weekly sessions from Thurs to Sundays.
Here’s an update on the pottery courses for children, toddlers, adults and parent-child programmes!
1) September Holiday’s 2-session Pottery Making Special by Clay Cove
Clay Cove specializes in pottery making as a fun activity to enhance the children’s creativity and spatial intelligence. This right-brained activity encourages the children to practice visualizing in three dimensions. 3-D visualization is a powerful technique that all children should master as it enables them to gain a different perspective. Pottery making can achieve this as well as enhance their fine-motor skills.
Apart from having fun, pottery making also enables them to develop focus, concentration and stronger sense of perseverance. This activity also increases their confidence when they realize their ability to create wonderful masterpieces. No two pottery masterpieces are the same as each item created by the child has a unique character.
Let your children be creatively occupied this September holiday! They will learn to create 2 penguins on a frozen lake during session 1 and paint their masterpieces during session 2.
It costs $60 for both sessions! Pottery making is an excellent way to harness your child’s creativity and enhance their spatial intelligence! Gather your friends’ and neighbours’ children, and sign them up today!
Date: Sept 5 & 8 (Mondays & Thursdays) or Sept 6 & 9 (Tuesdays & Fridays)
Time: 9:30-11am, 11:30am-1pm, 2-3:30pm or 4-5:30pm

2) Toddler Pottery Making Course
Toddlers are naturally curious and enjoy the feeling that clay gives their little fingers. With clay, they will learn to mould, shape, knead, roll and flatten clay. These creative movements are part of their growing up process. At Clay Cove, we’ll nurture this ability and teach them to create plates where they can tell imaginative stories!
It’ll cost $50 for 2 sessions and they will learn to create and paint a plate!
Sept School Holiday Course - $50 for 2 sessions

The exhibition runs through to Sunday 7th August 2005.
Martin Loh speaks:
I've always thought that illustrating a children's book would be a very natural extension of what I've done as a naive artist. Children are naturally curious, drawn to and daring in their use of vibrant colours, as well as having a dream-like or fairyworld-like approach to reality. They lose these qualities all too quickly in their haste to grow up. I like to think that I'm one of those who never totally grew out of these childlike qualities. If the vibrant colours of my Peranakan artworks appeal to adults, the colourful illustrations should thrill the young ones.
In both the illustrations and my naive works, the exercise of my imagination and the employment of my own stylization are, to me, far more important than abiding by any set rules of art. This has always been my philosophy. And it is the basis of all creativity. Of course, the illustrations have to correspond to the stories. But which parts of the stories to illustrate was very much a freedom of mine, after taking into account considerations of layout and other inputs by the publishers. The project was an excellent time for me to reacquaint myself with the local flora and fauna. I literally had to go back to our parks to re-familiarise myself with the canon-ball tree as well as pour through books for images of plants (like the Rafflesia), animals and houses which I may have forgotten or were not quite sure about. And invariably I commit the sin common to all naive artists - once I have a fair idea of what the real thing is, I cannot wait to embellish and embroider it. Hence the illustrations, like all too many of my artworks, are not about what the world is, but what I think it is or what I think it should be.
Martin’s father was born in Penang. As a child he had gone to visit his paternal grandfather in Ayer Hitam (at the foot of Penang Hill), as well as spent time in small Malayan towns like Taiping and Ipoh. The book was launched in Kuala Lumpur in December last year, and has been reviewed by various Malaysian newspapers and magazines.

Exchange 05: Artists, Artworks & Audiences - 7.30pm, 22 July 2005 (Fri)
The tripartite relationship between artists, artworks and audiences seems simple enough: artists create artworks which are then seen by audiences. However, there are many definitions, assumptions and complex negotiations that exist in this relationship. The invited speakers will highlight and reflect upon various examples from their practices.
Coordinated and moderated by Jennifer Teo, and featuring Susie Wong (Artist and Curator), Jason Lim (Artist and organiser of performance art events) and Audrey Wong (Artistic Co-director of The Substation).
More info at http://www.p-10.org/exchange/, and as usual, please RSVP: +65 6294 0041 or admin@p-10.org.
