Hi JC Lim,
Thank you for your interest. There is no age limit to learn caricature. However, I will only start a class for group of more than 10 participants (25 students for school). There are presently no ongoing program. I will contact you when there is a public group.

Hi Kamal,
Very good work in promoting batik to the younger generation of Singaporeans! We have interests in batik and intend to promote the art, philosophy and anything relating to batik…hope we can work together in the future. Maybe a feature on your workshops?

Getting clean lines is mostly about spray control. We do have imported female caps for big projects. Too bad I could not sell ‘em because I’m low on stock myself.
