yg steps into the belly of a fire-breathing dragon! A dragon kiln, that is, one of the two remaining in Singapore (the other one being the nearby Thow Kwang Dragon Kiln)


At 43 metres in length, the Guan Huat dragon kiln is the longest kiln in Singapore, and was once used by Cultural Medallion award winner Iskandar Jalil, according to yg:

when renowned singapore potter iskandar jalil was compelled to stop working from home because some neighbour complained that the huge gas tanks installed in his house were a fire hazard, he moved to jbcs (jalan bahar clay studios) to carry on his pottery work. he has since moved back home after some engineers from exxon helped him to modify the gas tanks so that they would meet the requirements for home use.
