HAZEL NG CV
Hazel Ng holds a diploma in Graphic Design and Advertising from the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts and a professional diploma in Interior Design from Rhodec International. She was first introduced to the joys of pottery by a colleague in 1991. Her journey in clay took a decisive turn when she began an apprenticeship with master potter Dr. Iskandar Jalil in 1994; she was awarded Third Prize in the Teawares category a year later in the Singapore Potters Competition. Hazel joined the community of potters at Jalan Bahar Clay Studios in 2007 and has participated in multiple group exhibitions and international ceramics residencies and workshops. She counts the beauty of natural forms, her travels abroad, and exchanges with other potters as some of her primary sources of inspiration.
“As a child, I loved playing with mud in the kampong. I might not have known it then, but I think this probably played a big role in my eventual gravitation towards the art of pottery. My inspirations derive mainly from the beauty of natural forms. Recent travels abroad as well as workshop exchanges with both local and foreign potters have helped to enrich my knowledge and deepened my skills.”
