Regular readers may already know about the sleeping dragon in our midst… or at least, the dragon kiln. The Thow Kwang Dragon Kiln in Jurong is the last of its kind in Singapore, and is regularly used by artists to fire their ceramic works. The kiln may not be around much longer, and Jerome makes a visit for posterity:
Jerome writes:
Even with my brief encounter with the so-called Thow Kwang Pottery Jungle which surrounds the kiln, I find it sad thinking about the encroachment of the grey world on the area that was happening right at that moment I was there – the earth just beyond the gates of the pottery jungle had already scarred by the bulldozers that were seen up the road. Much of the land that surrounds the pottery jungle is being stripped bare of the trees that not only provide shade to the pottery jungle, but also insulate the area from the urban world that lies just beyond the soon to be lost woods.
