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.

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
