AT SG ReMake Seal Carving with a Creative Spin
Join local artist Jean for a sharing session on the art of stone seal carving. A self-taught carver with over 10 years of experience, Jean will share her creative journey — from discovering traditional seal carving to giving it a modern twist. 

Learn about the history of Chinese seals, the evolution of Chinese characters, and how Jean blends heritage with contemporary icons like Doraemon and Laofuzi.  

The session will conclude with a live carving demonstration, where attendees can witness the craft in action. A hands-on stamping station will also be available, allowing participants to create their own bookmarks using Jean’s carved stamps.
