DYLAN CHAN, MULTIDISCIPLINARY ARTIST  (AFFORDABLE ART FAIR SINGAPORE 2025)

On this podcast, Simon Lim speaks to Seah Tzi-Yan, Festival Organiser of the Singapore Clay Festival 2025 as well as Ceramic Artists Leng Soh, Zestro Leow and Shweta Patel.  
The Singapore Clay Festival is a community celebration of the art of clay. The Singapore Clay Festival 2025 will take place at the Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre. Friday 7th November until Sunday 9th November 2025. Ticketing details: singaporeclayfest.com

FESTIVAL ORGANISER - Seah Tzi-Yan has been involved with the Clay Fest since it first started in 2021, and has been working closely with Festival Director, Goh Eck Kheng since then.

CERAMIC ARTISTS:

LENG SOH - Leng Soh took up pottery 13 years ago after over 28 years in Design and Advertising. She was mentored by Dr. Iskandar Jalil. Her works will remind you of undersea sponges, with a texture inviting you to reach out to touch and feel.

ZESTRO LEOW - Zestro Leow is an innovative ceramic artist who will be presenting his works on 3D printed porcelain. He has received international recognition and commissions from the NHB and NAC for his boundary-pushing work, and has exhibited in Taiwan, Korea, China and Singapore.

SHWETA PATEL - Shweta Patel focuses on marrying deliberately simple and robust forms with high temperature gas reduction and wood firing. Magic happens in the kiln with the perfect amalgamation of fire, clay, iron speckles and oxides in the glazes - producing Shweta's unique pieces.
