    OVERVIEW

     

    WHAT IS A 'DRAGON KILN' ?

    • “Dragon Kiln” gets its name from its shape – it resembles a dragon with its smoky head at the base of a slope and its tail uphill.

    ​​

    • It is a traditional wood fired kiln, which was in use for many centuries in China.

    ​

    • The Dragon Kiln is located at Jalan Bahar and throughout the years, Dragon Kilns have been demolished for roads and building.

    ​​

    • Today, there are only 2 Dragon Kilns left, as compared to the 20 that once thrived in Singapore.

    THE FASCINATING DRAGON KILN TOUR

     

    ACTIVITY 1 (INTRODUCTION TO CLAY)

    • Each child will be given a ball of raw birch clay and will be guided to mould it into an object or character related to the theme catered by the school or planned by our trainers

    ​

    • We will also invite children to discover the unique texture of clay, ensuring a holistic sensorial experience.

     

    ACTIVITY 2 (TOUR OF THE KILN)

    • The children will then be brought to the mouth of the kiln where they will learn about the history, functionality and relevance of the kilns in a fun and engaging way, lead by our trainers

    ​

    • The highlight will be when the children walk through the 43m long kiln, stepping into the history of Singapore; understanding how people worked a long time ago.

     

    ACTIVITY 3 (GLAZING)

    • Each child will be provided a bisque-ware item (a ceramic piece), either a trinket or a coaster which they will glaze (special paint for clay). This has them personalise the ceramic piece as a memory of the tour and what they have learnt.

    ​​

    • The bisque-ware creation will be collected at the end of the tour to be fired up in a kiln at our HQ. This second and final round of firing ensures a complete ceramic creation, with vibrant colours and a natural shine, making it an everlasting ceramic piece for their homes.
