Freelancing as a product model maker and an exhibit sculptor, Sutopo Ngasiman’s pursuit in ceramics and being able to create and teach the art of ceramics to the public proves to be more fulfilling. Since 2001 he is an understudy of Singapore’s renowned potter Iskandar Jalil. Assisting him in several projects, Sutopo acquired the skills in pottery. He is the resident artist in Jalan Bahar Clay Studios since 2007. Sutopo conducts ceramics workshops and give tours of Guan Huat Dragon Kiln to individuals, corporate companies, community groups and schools. Sutopo believes that there is an artist in everyone, a natural inert ability that can be nurtured given the right environment.
