Event at Rochester Mall

On the last day of November 2014, I would like to share with you this: My miniature workshop at Rochester Mall yesterday afternoon. As Christmas is coming soon, the workshop was to teach children to make miniature Christmas tree with lots of miniature candy on top.

I had fun with these little angels and my assistants at Rochester Mall yesterday afternoon.

Before the start of the miniature lesson, it was so quiet and peaceful. The kids'  tables were so clean and neat.

Handmade Miniature Ice Kachang

Making miniature Ice kachang is very interesting, what you need is speed as it like the real ice, the material will dry out very fast and I found my own way to make my miniature ice kachang and I will only teach them when you reach the advance level. Xyi has come to her last miniature advance lesson, she choose to make miniature ice kachang.

different sizes /bowls of miniature fake local dessert : ice kachang 

On the right hand size and below was done by my student Xyi.  The bowl we are using is slightly bigger that the first photo as for first try, I want to make sure she can handle it well, so make a bigger size, and if your ice is overflow the bowl, the ingredients like red beans, green starched noodles etc can only paste on the ice instead putting around the bowl , like the first photo I shown above.  But it still looks very delicious and ...yummy! yummy!

Miniature Gift Set

I put my handmade miniature noodles: mee pok, laksa, maggie mee, prawn mee and fish ball noodles into a special frame, this become a very special gift for someone love noodles so much (like me).  You can make different sizes , for me, this frame is quite big and deep so my handmade miniature mee is in bigger size too.

Miniature laksa, mee pok, prawn mee, veggie mee & fish ball noodles

To fix the size of the frame nicely, I put two types of bowl into it

A very unique present/gift, handmade miniature noodles 

Miniature Beach chair

I took quite a long time to make this miniature beach chair. As the chair is quite small so the chair's legs really cannot support the "cloth" on it , after a few try, I finally made it.

My handmade clay miniature beaach chair , the height is about 3cm and long 6 cm

below show a smaller size and does not look so good as the height is too low , the height is only 1.5 cm and long 3 cm, so the base almost touch the floor. 

 if the size is not right, the chair will look a bit curve up and end up like this one.

Miniature Basket of Vegetables

Xyi is one of my students, she is young and very knee in learning miniature art and also very good at it.  she learned from the basic , started from a basic simple round cake and now , she can make those miniature food that need more skill .  Below show her recently handmade miniature vegetables. Very nice! Basic skill is very important, if you know the basic skill and technique , you can make almost very thing you want. So be patience , start from the basic is very important.

  I will try my best to teach students who really want to learn , that is why I teach in 1 to 1 basis . (One of my student has become a  part time miniature clay art teacher teaching at some other place. )  I believe that everyone has the potential to become a master and teach others.
