Little Farmers and Robots Makers

It has been a long time since we’ve update our blog, June was a busy month for us as we had approx 20 over kids holiday workshops, a 9 days fair and the move of our studio(which we will come into details later). Finally we have some time to sort out some of the photos we have taken during the classes. These are some of the cutest photos that I’ve come across through the stack of hundreds of them taken during the workshops. Hope you’ll like them. Each and every children is unique in his or her own way, thus you’ll see each and every piece of artwork special in its own way. They might not be finger print free or in perfect shape but we hope to achieve in bringing out the creativity in the children and open them up to different kind of medium.

Now for the move…for those of you who have been to our studio, will realise that its really small, (we can sit about 4 persons comfortably), as time goes by, we needed more space as our products range expand, the space become almost impossible for us to move around easily..we needed a bigger space, thus we are so glad that the new studio space that we occupy now can sit 8- 10 persons comfortably and with all our products display out in full view so that shopping is made much more easily than before. We are still going into the finer details (like hanging certain hooks, art pieces, arranging the books). Once we are ready, we will be having a little tea party for the new studio and will be inviting all to join us, but before that we will be out of town for a few days this week for our buying trip. (from 7 July-11 July) If you happen to place an order or drop us an email during this period, we will only be able to reply when we are back.

Till then, take care!

New Decollage Items From Padico Japan!

Check out the new Decollage items from Padico Japan at our online store now, I'm loving the new waterproof Mermaid Puffy Clay, great for making handbag charms or handphone charms because of its waterproof nature, texture feels velvety and smooth and it comes in yummy colors like chocolate, biscuit and milk.  There is the new Crystal Clear silicone where you can make transparent shiny and glittery cream (just add glitters onto the silicone) and you can also make your own Eiffel tower charm from one of the new soft molds design. 

The new stock comes in limited quantity, so do grab them before they are sold out!
