Did you know that somewhere in this urban island, lie one of the last two surviving dragon kilns in Singapore? Would this rare surviving dragon kiln survive in a rapidly changing world where at times heritage from the past disappear in the name of progress?
I learnt that it was a rare occasion that the Thow Kwang Dragon Kiln would fire the entire kiln from 25 – 27 Feb 2011. This was possibly the first time since the 1980s that the entire kiln was fired. In conjunction with the firing event, Thow Kwang Pottery Jungle organised a guided tour for visitors who are keen to learn a bit more about the dragon kiln.
Where is this dragon kiln? Please learn more about my visit to the Thow Kwang dragon kiln woodfiring event here: A visit to the Thow Kwang Dragon Kiln Firing event 2011.
