Friends have been asking of my recent activity after returning from New York in Feb 2003.
I have decided to put a page on my new found love - pottery making.

the only surviving kiln in Singapore
it is more than 60 years old
the kiln is revived by a group of enthusiastic local potters in 2002
last firing done on 8 & 9 Nov 2003
it took 25 hours to reach 1250 degree Celsius
Thow Kwang Pottery Jungle is really in the jungle off Jalan Bahar, Singapore
this is the stretch of jungle path leading to the compound
this big banyan tree is believed to be very very old
it provides shade for cars and people
it keeps the pots in good company
the birds like to rest on the branches
