This workshop is conducted by Michelle JN Lim, an artist, educator and curator who works with traditional Chinese stone seal carving. A former MOE educator and arts programme manager, she has been leading art experiences for all ages since 2013. Today, she brings the same sense of fun and care to her seal carving workshops, introducing this heritage craft as both a meaningful tradition and a hands-on way to create personal marks. In 2023, she curated Carving Possibilities, an exhibition of 300 seal works by 31 artists at the de Suantio Gallery at Singapore Management University, with a second iteration later shown at library@orchard.
