About the studioMaking, testing and quiet observation.Since 2015 · Singapore

Drawing on their backgrounds in design, art, craft and science, Kaleb Loh and Tyco Tat approach clay through making. Their practice looks for new ways to experience one of the world’s oldest materials—how it feels in the hand, how it moves, and what its natural qualities can reveal.

A collection takes shape gradually in the studio. Forms are made, fired, tested and adjusted across small batches and limited editions. Each stage informs the next, allowing an idea to develop in close conversation with the material.

This attention can be found in the balance, orientation and surface of the finished objects. A slight shift in weight introduces movement. The meeting of different clays creates changes in colour and texture. Turned in the hand, a piece reveals another side.
