pauseability...

ello!

it's almost the end of As.. one paper left but nine days more to go for me ):

i have however had a great time in the past few days, especially at pauseability with some of my friends! some of you may have read about it in the newspapers before. it's a gem of a place really, hidden away under an hdb flat in toa payoh, along with the usual pseudo-classy hairdressing salons and provision shops.

as the name pauseability suggests, the guy who runs it really understands the possibilities that arise simply when people stop, feel, and think. the site is a joy to browse around, so go check it out and hopefully browse around the actual place :p

it's not a conventional craft shop - you pay $9 for the use of conventional materials and $12 for access to this FANTABULOUS cupboard of materials which includes cloths, buttons, ribbons and such. he helps other people sell their artworks and jewellery too, which is worth a look. they're done by amateurs, but there are some nice things there. my friends bought some earrings ;)


another course that's affordable is the angel clay workshop. i think you guys have tried it before, but it helps to have someone who's experienced! he taught us some tricks and techniques to using it, and i managed to make this as a belated birthday present for my mum:




(you can see some of my notes in the background!)

it has a great ambience, very artsy with all the random art things around. major plus point is how it's completely unpretentious! moses, the guy who runs it, is great company as well :)


definitely worth a visit for a bit of chillout time.
